[QUOTE] The last time (last year) my son approached him the coach publicly humiliated him. The first time my son hit a homer he stuck out his hand rounding third and the coach stepped away and folded his arms. He's having an awesome year and the coach has said nothing positive to him. After the team wins he rips whatever they did wrong. He has said nothing positive to any of the three showcase players even though they are all having excellent seasons. He has mentally abused one of the showcase players (not my son) so badly the kid has a fu attitude towards the coach (in private).
i know how you feel. my coach has done nothing for me. i have had 10 at bats this season, never have batted above ninth and am second on the team in home runs. i throw from 80 to 87 as a freshman still playing freshman because they dont pull up (which i uderstand but still...) and had 19 k's in my first 7 innings. when i asked my coach why i wasnt playing and more specifically what i could do to get more play time, he blew me off and told me it was the depth chart and to keep working when i am one of the only people who actually tries to get better during practice. my coach doesnt let me throw bullpens in practice and put me in after not trowing for two weeks then when i was asking him about my mechanics he didnt know
