[QUOTE="Riggen&Jiggen, post: 249588, member: 564"] I don't believe the negative drama over youth and HS sports has changed over the years when it comes to parents complaining to the coach. What has changed is the attitude of some of the kids. There seems to be a greater amount of kids these days that will not listen to the coaches and have a shit attitude. There were kids 20 plus years ago that also had shit attitudes but they listened or they didn't get playing time. I feel that most of this could be corrected with good communication by the coach all year long and I not only communicating to the kids but also talking with the parents. Not saying that it is all on the coaches shoulders. The coach needs people in their corner (players, parents, athletic director) to help with what ever message they want known. If you don't have that support it becomes a up hill battle and you get burnt out as a coach. All the drama brought up now, I assure you happened 20+ years ago. You just did not have the internet or cell phones back then. I played hockey back in the 80s and we went from October to April and had camps in the summer. Hockey has always been a sport that you traveled a lot for. Nowadays every other sport has caught up to that. When my kids started Y ball in 1st grad a few of the parents freaked out that their precious Sally kept getting the ball taken away. I told the wife they better pull their kid out of sports if they can't handle that because sports is not a place for buttercups. My wife did not play sports and she was kind of shocked at first how some people acted. I told her to get used to it because it will only get worse. Even with the drama sports are an unbelievable experience for kids and teach them a lot about life. Sports can bring out the worst in people but I would have to say there is way more positives than negatives. [/QUOTE]
