Once these coaches realize that the most talented team on the field doesn't always win but the team with the best understanding and respect between the players normally does. It is unfortunate that a player has to suffer through (or quit) a sport that he loves because of a coach who only knows how to motivate is through embarrassment and ridicule. And then blames the players for the poor performance.

My son played football and half-way through his senior year, he walked off the field. As it happens, it was this same school, same football program, and same head coach, so I know the answer(s) to the question of what caused this athlete to quit. Your question, "When is enough, enough?" is the question that needs to be answered. When is this school going to acknowledge the harm this coach is doing to countless promising student athletes. In my son's case, he had a coach (who happens to be the author of this blog) who talked him through the rest of the season. All players are not as fortunate. But a player shouldn't have to be "lucky" to have a great coach, or at least a coach who cares for him/her and his/her welfare. This should be the NORM, not the exception. claudiadeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338452302602096935noreply@blogger.com
