58Fan, we are raising a society of kids here in Letcher county that want everything given to them for free. It starts in little league, continues through pee-wee ball and creates nightmares for coaches in our county. Parents feel that just because little Johnny goes to practice daily he should get he same amount of time that little Billy gets. Well I come from the old school partner and I don't want my kid getting anything he hasn't earned. I want him to beat out other kids and prove that he is the best man for the JOB (Not only sports). The world is a tough place and I bet you that in a few years they will not be getting anything for free. It starts with parents and I see it yearly, no discipline at home but want the coach to have discipline, no work ethic at home but thinks they have worked hard enough to get playing time. Everybody wants their baby to be the star regardless of talent level. The Friday night assistant coaches in the stand called parents needs to shut up, sit back and support the players and coaches regardless of the score. We need to take a good hard look on the other side of the mountains and take a few lessons from the Bears fans, #1 is just support our kids. #2 is win and lose as a community. #3 rally behind our coaches because coaching is a hard business to be in for them and their families. #4 regardless how ugly it gets remember we are all Cougar fans and without support from our community our team will never be anything more than a 2nd rate whipping boy for the teams down state. #4 is we have enough fair weathered fans in this state, let's prove to everybody around that the classiest program in the state can be from Letcher County both athletes, administration, parents and community. Go Cougars!!!
