[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kid is a bully. Coach needs to deal with it. If you coach chooses to ignore bullying because the kid plays well and helps get results then you need to speak to the technical director.[/quote]Yes, coach should deal with this.  I was not unlike that kid when I was in high school.  I was very good, very driven, and *really* hard on myself which then translated into being hard on other people.  And also led to being pretty lonely, even though it was a team sport!

Now that I'm older I understand that teams win games, not stars, and that a team will do better if everyone learns to work together and be supportive of one another.  I don't understand why my coaches didn't shut me down and give me a good talking to - except that this was the 70s so maybe the coaching would be better today.  Anyway it would have made me a much better team player!

Later in college I blew out my knee and had to take up a new sport. Being a novice really helped with my attitude and I ended up loving it and feeling close to my teammates.  One of those situations where there unintended good consequences from a bad accident.[/quote]
