[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP and 17:49 -- in what leagues do you coach?[/quote]

It is irrelevant what I coach. As a rec coach I think you simply fail to understand your role. You are an ambassador and teacher of the sport. And that means it is your job to teach the sport to the best of your ability and to the ability of the all the kids on your team. Winning at rec, or coaching to win at rec, especially at this age, is NOT your job.

If you want to win then you are coaching at the wrong level. [/quote]

Sorry, I was asking OP and 17:49 where they coach.  I want to avoid those areas.  I also coach, and feel for their children as well as their players.  Their kids may well burn out physically and emotionally leaving the "try-hards" to capture the scholarships.  Slow and steady!  Also, even if the try-hards don't get the scholarships, I'm sure they will have developed better character.  It is the kids who have to work at stuff that seem to succeed at life.  Plenty of bosses were C students and athletes (if grades were given).  [/quote]
