I have been coaching fastpitch for about 18 years now, and coaching my daughter for 15 of it. This is the first time I am not the coach as she is a Freshman on the HS varsity team. I can’t tell you how relaxing this is. Her coach is new, but is an ex-college player right out of college and...
Our coach is a newbie this year. 24 year old right out of college. (played in college) She is learning on what to do and make changes for next year. She is learning. I've been coaching for along time and at times she will confide in me on what I would do, I tell her and help her anyway I can...
^^^^^ This loud and clear. So much this it hurts.
Wait until you have parents complaining their DD isn't playing but should be based solely on being a Senior. Not because they can outplay someone on the diamond, but just because, well...she's a Senior. I don't how our HC handles that...
I was at a coaches clinic at Tennessee a few years ago and me and the Vols Head Coach had words about Masks on pitchers. They of course thought they were weak and need to play defense better and I was like OH, really. Anyway, we agreed to disagree. But if I am not mistaken. The first pitcher...
Our HS was updating the FB field and the BB Field, so one day at my DS football practice I asked one of the school board members about the Softball Field. He said, and I quote, "We didn't plan on doing anything to the field or the facilities." All I did was ask on question, Who is the Title...
So what was AD's answer to, "okay then, how should I have handled it?" Swing at bad pitches? No, that teaches bad habits. Maybe Bunt everyone, but then if they can't cover that, then what? Delay steal and get caught? I wouldn't want that whiny team on my schedule anyway. In my mind you did...
I wouldn't be kind about this at all. My trip would be to the administration and AD, and call a meeting with the coach. Any direct punishment from the coach toward the player for providing medical evidence she can't do the heavy lift and I would ask who the attorney needs to speak with. Now...
Season Starts March 7th. Tryouts consist of "can you walk and chew gum at the same time" and "not trip running to first." (Ahh...the small school life. :-) ) DD is a Freshman and will see Varsity Mound time. First Game is the end of March. I am looking forward to it. This will be the...
There is an actual Travel Team league starting here. I put us in it. It was like 16 games, (DH every Tuesday) with a tourney at the end. I actually dropped a couple tourneys and picked this up. It is affordable and local for our team. There is like 8 teams in it. It should be fun, I'll...
Wow..around here, a sport isn't part of the PE/GYM. So that's odd to me. Then so is the other issues. We are one of the largest small schools in our state(yeah, sounds odd doesn't it) so that maybe part of it. Our conference is made up of Class A and Class 2A schools with a pinch of 3A in...
I just watched the trailer and will be getting this queued up, but my favorite line from the trailer is "I would like to coach a team where the parents are all dead."
Watched it last night. The Football kid didn't want his dad around, and wore it on his sleeve and wanted to go back to his moms and in the end did. He loved football, but not as much as daddy. The Tennis mom had delusions of Grander, the basketball dads, well, the kids wanted to play or so it...
