I really have to offer a different view of Trig.
My son did his camp this summer and after his first day this was his observation.

Morning pep-talk was telling them he would be using the f-bomb and if they didn't like it there was the parking lot. Told the kids that he didn't care if parents emailed or called he wld just hang up. This is the way he rolls.

During the drills he and his coaches would yell at the kids using the f bomb and other colorful words.

He belittled a player because he wasn't recruited like his brother who had already committed to d1 school.

Day two: Same little pep-talk  
1. no need to be walked to the field no child molesters on the field. No one was walking around with their privates hanging out.
2. He didn't care if they had championships stickers on their helmets compared it to M in their closet because no one cares.
3.Told the kids if they thought they were all that then they might as well as bend over because they will be F by his high school coaches.
4. Talk about hitting them with his stick.
5. Told them if they couldn't take this kind of talking to then they were soft.
6. If a fellow player was bringing them down tell them they sucked.

The age of the kids were 11-13. My son asked not to go back.  He had no respect for an adult who yelled and cussed at him and others. As a parent I could not justify placing him back in this type of environment. This was a camp that was to instill values and teach them the game of LAX. I spoke to another parent about the situation and her response was "thats the way it was for my older son. I know as a parent its hard to accept but everyone wants to play with him."  Really?[/quote]

This is awful!  Ages 11-13 are way too young (I would argue never ok, but my brothers and nephews played D1 sports and it can be rough out there).   He should be ashamed of himself. [/quote]
