Not surprisingly, the most difficult coaches were often very difficult parents, rigid and demanding in their attitudes. I agrees with you and with Harlan Coben-these folks simply haven't learned that you catch more flies-in this case, young children filled with energy and joy-with honey than vinegar. With patience than abuse. The coach you reference would be reported in California.lil Glucksternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288522126331817172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-26162791755105946482013-06-05T16:07:23.534-04:002013-06-05T16:07:23.534-04:00Linda, we have been very fortunate.

Now, we are learning about the damage, physical and emotional, being done to some kids in some of these sports by these parents and coaches. So glad you had a great coach for your son's lacrosse team.Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.com
