Terrible human being

I completely agree and any team we've coached hasn't been allowed. My daughters current team does a few that I don't like and while I talk to my own kid about it I'm not in charge.

I wanted to share a situation that occurred last night that I can't believe I actually witnessed. We were playing a 10U Rec league game, at our home field. Right from the warmups I had a bad feeling about the opposing head coach by comments I heard him making to his own girls, things like "miss that ball again and your riding the bench" and "if you don't swing the bat why bother coming to the game". I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing him say to these young girls that he is supposed to be teaching and helping them grow to love the game! We took the field to begin the game and that's when he started with our girls, as our pitcher was warming up he was talking loud enough for his team to hear saying negative things about our girl on the mound to the point where you can clearly see it was bothering her. It's hard enough for these young girls that are just starting to pitch to stay focused, and part of the game is them learning to deal with the opposing team when they cheer/chant to not let it get in their head. So the first batter came up and our pitcher was clearly rattled by this coach and she hit the first girl she faced. So our catcher who does a remarkable job for a young girl managing the game went and talked to her and whatever she said worked she struck out the next 2. So the coach yells to his #4 hitter, this pitcher is nothing, go up there and wait for your pitch. It definitely got in her head again and she hit the batter, the coach explodes talking directly to our pitcher asking her if he needs to send his batters up with catchers gear on to protect them and a few other out of line comments again directly to her. The ump finally gave him a warning about his behavior. Move forward 2 innings and we have an different pitcher in, to keep it somewhat short he stated all over again with this young girl, at this point he made 2 10 year olds upset to the point of tears, I had enough and told him if he speaks to any of our girls again he was going to have a serious problem. I'll stop venting, I was just so shocked and appalled that a grown man could act/treat innocent young girls the way he did, there is no room for people like this in youth sports of any kind and I really hope he gets what he deserves and is banned from coaching. Thanks for listening/reading!

People need to stop being such sheep and speak up...call him out for the asshole he is.

AGREED! This "man" has no business or right to coach softball or be around minors! I would have reported him to whoever was in charge of that tournament. NO child should have ever heard that. You're right. He should be BANNED and if needed arrested.

Final update on this, our Rec season regular season ended and we made the post season. Long story short, we played this same team again to advance to the Championship game. I was worried he was not only going to get in my daughters head but also the rest of the girls. Well, i couldn't have been more proud of them, was the best all around game they played as a team all year! we won 6-2, my daughter pitched a CG with 2 hits, 1 walk, 11 K's and only 75 total pitches. They were very proud of themselves and the momentum carried and we ended up taking 2nd place. Was proud of how the girls handled themselves as well as the coaches for setting great examples and teaching these girls great sportsmanship! Thanks for all of your feedback from the original post!
