[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I coach a lot of rec across several sports. I play the kids equally, or as equally as I can. Yes, it is annoying when other coaches play their "stars" more. Even more annoying when the winning and losing is taught as the lesson at that level (age not important).[b] My biggest pet peeve?[/b] When a rec team is loaded with travel players who kick the snot out of a rec team and then treat it like they won the world cup or world series. I am not even sure why they think it is worth the time or that much fun for either team.[/quote] I hear you. I have a couple of parents on my son's BB travel team who regularly have their kids play in rec teams. They always brag about how their kids score 30 - 40 points, while scoring maybe 8-10 points on travel. They do it to built their kids self esteem, I see it as being the big fish in small pond syndrome. Anyway, these parents are very status conscious as well, so it is more about them. [/quote]
