Very much respect your service in Iraq, but yoh still sound completely unhinged about youth sports.

Wait, does anyone still think OP is real?

"Elite coach-pitch" seems like a giveaway. I've crossed paths with some overzealous sports dads, but this sounds beyond the pale.

OP here: Tonight we had a makeup game from the Saturday ppd. My kids KICKED A**!!! They hammered the other team from the first pitch I threw, taking the extra base at every opportunity. They also made great decisions in the field.

What's best, though, is that they showed the opposition players what an elite-level Coach pitch team looks like. They set the standard for what kids will need to make an 8u travel team here in summer 2017. No daydreaming in the outfield, no half-swings, full hustle on every pitch.

After the game, I just shook my head at the two dorks who "coached" our opponents. They're truly a joke, a couple of "it's all good", "good try" types who can't coach their team out of a paper bag. I feel really sad for a couple of their players who might have potential, but won't get challenged to be the best under these two bozos. The worst was when the one who "pitched" kept bouncing balls because his wrist flopped all over the place. Finally I went out and told him I'd pitch. It was the first time these kids faced actually GOOD pitches. I can't imagine what the high school coaches think, with losers like this failing to train their ball players. That's twelve kids down the drain because the coaches can't find their b*lls and DEMAND excellence.

I've thought about ordering my players to tell their opponents in the "good game" line that their coaches s**k. It's probably against the bylaws to do that, but Coach pitch is where you lock down your fielding skills. Can't do that if the other coach can't get it over the plate. Kids listen to each other, and kids should know who's a bad coach. The damage bad coaches do to our HS program is enormous. We can and will get it done, but we all gotta pull together.

Well, that made me laugh - what're we talking about 6 - 7 year olds? Hey coach, you're a massive tool! I guess you fall short somewhere so you overcompensate with an over intense focus on "professional level" kids sports. Loser!

I know what an excellent high school athletic program looks like. I'm a graduate of one. Look up Smith, George and St. Thomas Aquinas High School.

OP here: I saw him coach when I was scouting for a buddy at a D-1 program. He's like Morgan Wootten: he just rolls out the equipment and expects his super-talented kids to get it done. He doesn't add value.

With my squad, I had them watch old video highlights of the 1980s Cardinals, the BillyBall Athletics, and even a clip of the Go-Go White Sox from 1959. What did those teams do? They took every base possible. My kids just aren't quite strong enough to park it. And that's OK. I've introduced a nutritional supplement routine through a buddy who can work directly with their parents and hook them up. But they just haven't had time to cycle through enough rounds to see the gains they'll get by say U-11.

But what they CAN do great in coach pitch is run run run. Take second on a grounder in the whole when the SS tries to throw to first. Go second to home on a grounder to first. Run on contact even with no outs, assuming that even if the fielder catches it on the fly, he'll throw it away.

Kids need to be challenged to grow. They need to see the opponent hang 30 to their ZERO, to learn they never EVER want to be Grenada ever again. Their coaches can talk sportsmanship, but that's for losers who can't win.

Our high school programs at Yorktown and Washington-Lee need WINNERS. And that's what I'm constructing and delivering, time of arrival February 2024!!!

I pray for your soul, OP.

I really hope OP is a troll. If he is a real person, I hope he doesn't have kids. If he is married, my sympathies to his wife. He sounds absolutely insufferable. But then, people who use the word "wussification" generally are.

Nutritional supplements?

I'd yank my kids from your team so fast your deluded little head would spin.

The dedicated players will come, and the ones who waste my time will have another "commitment". So the good players get to play the whole game.

I will say, people who got mad at me are losers. If you're gonna be the best, you gotta lay it on the line each and every day. I quote Coach K from that commercial to my coach-pitch kids, telling them I want them to be the best they can be each and every day.

If they do that, I got their back and will pour out my soul coaching them. I will back them up if they don't like a call; I'll get MYSELF thrown out so they can keep playing. In return, they bust their butts for me so we can build a program, win some hardware, and bring back some pride to Arlington.

What do you say about the people defending the cancellation to protect the field itself? To me this makes the most sense, you all can complain about it needless cancellations but I think a wrecked field would actually be worth the fuss...

BIGGEST RED FLAG, I just thought you were intense, and I could almost go along with all of it til this moment...This is the shittiest thing to say, even winning teams need to know about sportsman ship at EVERY LEVEL of competition or you are a total failure as a coach, especially if you are coaching children- shame on you sir

OP here: My wife knows her place; she does a great job raising our kids and cooking good healthy meals. I have an AP so I don't have to worry too much about my wife's feelings but YMMV. That's not to say I'm mean to her, but I just need to give my wife kids and a comfortable home. Me personally, I get my fun and relationship with AP, and she, well, can't get enough of me. . Not bragging, just a fact.

OP, have you got other things you'd like to add so you seem like a total dick? I thought you were there already, but the infidelity really cranks it up to 11.

So DCUM, what else could he say? What does it take to be a loser in every way?

Ignore my above post about sportsmen ship- you just revealed yourself as a total troll- good one dude, you really sold the total douche canoe package

OP, if you are serious about children, sports, and health, please read this:

http://wtop.com/mlb/2016/04/the-arm-baseballs-biggest-mystery/

The United States Specialty Sports Association ranks the top national T-ball teams four and under. As in, four years old and younger. Let that sink in for a minute. There are national rankings for four-year-olds.

“The youth baseball system right now is broken,” Passan said. “A lot of the injuries that are happening these days can be traced back to things that were done as early as eight, nine 10 years-old.”
...
Passan calls it “the commodification of the child.” He says the most shocking statistic he came across in his research was a study between 2007 and 2011 on all the Tommy John surgeries that took place to repair torn UCLs. A full 56.8 percent of them — more than half — were on 15 to 19 year olds.

“That is a bad sign,” he said. “That is a sign that this injury is trending younger, that arms are being hurt younger than ever. And baseball needs to do something to stop it.”
