Slappers
Don't like labels
I know I should leave well enough alone and everything I post will be put under a microscope because of a thread here on this subforum. I don't care, I owned and stood by what I said. After reading a facebook post about the thread and how I suck as a coach, need a forum to hold my hand and make decisions for me, I'm not a man, look what he did with the 9 year old slow pitch team after I quit coaching it and how they are going to slander my team to everyone that will listen etc, it made me wonder why I coach and have to deal with stuff like that.
The answer is simple. It is because I love doing it. Being able to take part in shaping a group of young people trying to achieve a common goal is amazing. I'm not happy for myself when they win but I am disappointed in myself when they lose. I question what could I have done differently or what did we not work on that we should have. I find it hard to believe that ANY coach is in this for themselves. I believe we all have the best interests of the girls at heart. I don't gain anything personally or financially out of doing what I do outside of the satisfaction of watching my players grow as players and young adults and the friendships that have been forged. That to me is what coaching is about.
So why do you all do it?
