She doesn't mind the push ups, she does not like the yelling. She gets very nervous and confused because it is an overload of information when he switches her around the field every few minutes. For instance, yesterday at practice he had her backing up third base and when she did something he did not like, he moved her to center field. Well, he hits a ball out there, she gets it, but hesitates on where to throw it because there was a runner going to second and a runner going to third. He told the girl that was playing center field before her that he was taking the guessing away from them in that situation, she was to throw it to second even if there was a runner going to third. Well, she did throw it to second base in time and got the out but he berated her for hesitating because he just told the other girl what to do. And then immediately after wards he gives her push ups for missing a fly ball.
Apparently during the pool game in the last tournament (I missed this game because it was an early game and I have a 3 yr old and a newborn), he had her catching and she made some error, and he totally went off on her as soon as she got back in to the dug out. She had zero confidence for the rest of the games. She wasn't herself at all. He even had a talk with me about it before practice yesterday and said she wasn't giving him any energy and didn't want to play. I had no clue what to tell him other than she was just tired because she slept over another team members house that night and they stayed up too late. But she tells me that she can't do anything right and that he never tells her she is doing good so she is never sure when she is doing the right thing.
She really doesn't like the way his daughter behaves. She is the one that told me about the hitting and teasing in the dug out. She feels badly for one particular girl that is picked on often.
