Team Rules~No player/parent interaction at the ballpark

[radness]

I'm going to bring this up but want to say it as best I can to not offend anybody.

There are some parents that are way over bearing on their kids and do disrupt a players thinking in between games.

it does happen. And while it may not be as prevalent that it happens to every player it can happen to players enough that it can affect what happens when they come back to the field to play.

Recognize that some people are seeing this as a control issue of the coach controlling the players.
In a way it is, by controlling the environment the players are in while they are supposed to be focusing on what the team needs to do that day. Trying to keep that Dynamic intact. Team unity.

You never answered my question about cellphones...

Pretty sure the coaches aren’t carrying any “supplies” which the girls might need from time to time.

We have them in the dugout restroom. They're among the hair ties and other girls stuff, in a drawer with a picture of an angry uterus.

Another reason for me to stay in the OF during the game. No need to be haunted by angry uteri in my sleep..

I learned after DD was guesting and I had to ask all the moms i didn’t know.

I think a rule like this just speaks to overall control by the coach. Discipline is critical. I read an article about Urban Meyer's arrival to Ohio State, and how he controlled every detail of his players' day. It was everything from pre-made meals tailored to their dietary needs, to having them assigned an air mattress for schedule naps at the practice facility. That's a little extreme in some ways, but I would say most or all of the highly successful coaches maintain an above average level of control. Undisciplined teams play poorly.

Using Urban Meyer as an example for anything good is probably a risky move at the moment..

At my HS daughter's game a few nights ago I had heard some kind of barking coming from behind the backstop during game 1, but didn't pay much attention. But as I walked behind the backstop later on my way to work concessions, one of the opposing players was yelling (and half crying) at her dad going "you HAVE to stop doing that! You're throwing me off my game!" I'm not big on kids yelling at their parents--and especially in public--but, I kinda felt bad for her. So many people just don't know their place when it comes to being a spectator.

Just gotta keep it about football. You could probably insert a lot of coach names in there. Bob Huggins is another. He's known to be a loving tyrant. Treadmill on level 10 for screwing up. Stuff like that..lol
