Yeah your coach is going over borad. Over these past 7 years that softball has been in my life these young girls have taught me that sportsmenship is still alive. I use to be hardheaded like you HC but I have since learned from these girls who are able to play to win but still applaude good plays and hard work on the field. Keep cheer for good plays and girls you know even if they are playing against you cause this sport needs true fans to keep it growing at the rate it is going.
