Reply to "Coach Fired for Negative Culture"

Sadly, I’ve seen good coaches and good people get this treatment and bad coaches and bad eggs allowed to stay. 

Coaches have an incredible opportunity to influence the lives of young people.  It’s a missed chance at best or a train wreck at worst when they don’t or when we won’t let them.

I’ve got a college son with a screaming and losing college coach. Constantly blaming the players, swearing, throwing chairs and helmets and trash cans. Lashing out at players who ask for a practice off to finish school work. It’s become pathetic. My son is afraid to make a peep...and he’s tuning this guy out and thinking of quitting baseball. 

My other son has a college coach who really cares. They’re losing this year, but the coach is first class in victory or defeat.   He understands his role can be enormously powerful in the lives of his players and he treats that responsibility with great respect.
