I find it funny there are so many haters out there. As a volunteer coach for 19 years without ever having any children of my own in the mix to coach or self promote I feel I must chime in on a few things I am reading.
A) I unfortunately agree that politics come into play !
It comes into play in relationships .... As in friendships and work.
I am sure we have all been passed over for a well deserved promotion. The sad thing is that I really hate for this to enter sports and with kids. We have to spin our wins/ losses, our victories / failures, our making a team or not....as life lessons. Through sports we teach kids the ups and downs of life. For example: I has an all state back that had 45 TDs that will play for east but was not asked to plat in state. I have a qb that passed for 26 TDs and over 1,800 yards , led us to 10-3, won UK 7on 7 and did not make any team. How do you explain that ??? I am sure I can recall being passed over when in high school for sd omething because of politics. Typically when I have been a head coach , I do not led dads coach. Prefer to take the bias out of the equation. That being said .. I have coached with some that are harder on thier kids and fair. When there is an agenda...its tough.
