Who gets to decide if one way or the other is the "RIGHT" way?
Every one of us has invoked the words, "This is the 'right' way to do it!" at one point or another, probably many different times. More and more this is bothering me. There are lots of ways to do thing, but who ultimately gets to decide what the "right" way is?
As travel-ball coaches, we'd all like to think what we teach is the "right" way, yet other, very good coaches, often argue another way is the "right" way.
We parents of players know of instances when what we've taught is, in our minds, the "right" way, only to have a travel-ball or high school coach argue that another way is the "right" way and what we teach is "wrong."
Quite frankly, I think the work "right" is invoked far too often, kind of like our children whining that something isn't "fair." Whatever does the word "fair" mean.
My question is this.... Do you agree that the words "the right way" are over-used by coaches and parents. And, who ultimately gets to decide what way is "right" and what way is "wrong?"
