will...I wouldn't want to play for you.

I get a letter just because I made the team.

Sounds like most of you coaches should give a letter to a player; and, a "letter" to a person who hustles and makes no contribution towards the success of the team on the field during a game.

Running to the bus with the equipment bag, in my view, does nothing for a team winning.

Maybe because I went to a high school where you had to EARN a varsity letter by ON FIELD performance.

I know so many of you are "feel good" and "politically correct" coaches. I think it does nothing for a team when a kid gets a letter for varsity baseball because he sold the most raffle tickets; is good at raking the mounds after a game; or, is fast on his feet chasing foul balls.
