At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside and asked, Do you understand what co-operation is? What a team is?

Yes, coach, replied the little boy.

Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?

So, the coach continued, I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him an azzhole. Do you understand all that?

Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.

The coach continued, And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to play, it's not a dumb azz decision or that the coach is a chithead is it?

No, coach.

Good, said the coach. Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother.

For or five years here. Had one coach banned because of his actions in game. Parents are a big problem - makes me glad I'm not a teacher.

You should Google The Matheny Manifesto.

Mike Methany was a coach of his son's little league team and wrote this on a plane.

It is really well done.

I think later, he wrote an entire book on it.

I read this after my coaching of my multiple daughters' soccer and softball teams and it is the way I approached it.

Metheny is truly a genius ..... that was the coolest thing I have read in a long time. This attitude would actually make America great once again.=d>

I would agree but just wished he had used some of that coach speak when the Cards were playing the team with the goat.
