Hey @##@! Coach...

We are fortunate to have a coach that does not have a kid on the team and is a very good coach. Yelling at players is a broad topic and differs from age level to age level, team to team, and has more to do with player coach relationships. You most likely yell at your kid at home, does that mean you are a bad parent? Of course not. You have a relationship with your child, hopefully they trust you and know that not long after you yell at them you will give them a hug and love on them. Our players really respect our coach and they do a lot of laughing together and they know when she yells at them she really means it, and she can launch into some hum-dingers. My wife and I have a policy that we try to never leave the house right after a scrap nor go to bed mad. Our coach seems to have a similar policy as she never lets the team leave on a negative note, she will always build them back up after tearing them up. She never berates them but is not afraid to tell them they are not giving max effort or are not performing the way they have been taught. She is very fair. I am on the coaching staff so I get to hear it all. My daughter loves her, truly, and can't wait to see her and that seems to be the case for all the girls.
