    Never throw to 3rd?

    16U. We get base runners often, unless its a team that we have played before or someone scouted us.

    Things that coaches and parents say, that don't help

    Through the years i have heard several that made my skin crawl, even a couple that wanted me to hop the fence. but for some reason the one that bothers me a lot, is a father/parent, making a comment to his/her daughter compaing them ( in a negative way) to an older or even younger sister. Thats...

    It is not about me

    Awesome. It will be a great experience for you and your daughter. Several years ago for fathers day, my DD gave me Cal Ripkins book. It was a defining moment. I completely change my thought process. As example, if my daughetr had a bad practice or game, we or i should say I diseected it the...

    Coach Won't Let Kid Do What She Can Do

    Almost kept my mouth shut all HS season but..

    I agree 100%. As the coach, its my job to keep the team focused. I honestly don't care what grade their in. If i'm picking say the top 12, thats what i do. If a player who has played on the JV team for 3 years because she can't make Varsity, i just don't bring her up for her senior year. If she...

    Want other coaches opinions

    *Update* The mother was officially banned from all sporting events on the school property, whcih means she no can't even go watch her son in LL baseball. When i arrived at practice yesterday, the father was waiting. I wasn't concerned about a physical altercation, but i didn't want any more...

    Thank you. And honestly, thats how i stay grounded. All my energy is focused on them, not the parents etc. The best part is, the players know it and thats all that matters.

    Want other coaches opinions

    the kid isn't a bad kid. She is good in school and has a great sense of humor. But with softball, she is average at best. She isn't a competitor. She is happy to be along and has no fire in her belly. But i agree with all of you, the mother doesn't get it and its a shame for the girl. My...

    Crazy Mommies

    i honestly have to say, my wife, while she is an active parent with our travel team and HS team, is a good softball mom. Though she never played softball ( she was a B-Ball player and Field Hockey) she really does understand the game. She very rarely says anything other then cheering for...

    Want other coaches opinions

    Well, i had my face to face this am, with the mother and the AD. The woman is flat out nuts. She again started saying her daughter was better then another player on the team. She was really ripping the other girl. I again told her i would answer questions only about her daughter and no other...
