[FATMAN]

I have been helping out my local high school track team. I have been helping the throwers get better and telling them what they are doing wrong. well when I learned that a coach is not allowed to coach a child while at the regional competition this threw me for a loop. I do not get how you can even justify this rule. Every other sport from grade school to the Olympics or other professional sport a coach can give their athletes while they are on the field. I had to sit and watch my throwers throw and make little mistakes that I usually have to correct them on in practice.they are just freshmen or only been throwing for a few years will have to be reminded time to time. I think it is ridicoulus that you can not talk to your athletes and encourage them and help them along to do their best i know every other sport you can bring your star player over and calm them down or pump them up if they are having a bad day why not track?
