CM,
That was a wonderful post to remind folks what it really is all about. Thank you.
My son is just beginning his coaching journey and I hope that he leaves as much positive impression on his players as you have over the years.
My son wont coach at the youth level. Lots of reasons stated in that article. He doesnt want to deal with parents telling him what he should do or undermine his coaching. He has been playing the game all of his life, but dad knows better. He doesnt see youth players as having fun as he did at that age.
