If we renamed the thread "Please feed my insatiable appetite for attention", would that help you understand?

By the way, JB et al.
In case you haven't noticed you've allied yourselves with someone who screams in kid's faces in the middle of a game. It means he's competitive and also a winner. He's also a great coach. A very great and humble coach.
Run to him, fellas. He's all yours.
I'm not. I'm for getting after it. The difference between you and I is that I have used my real name and anyone here can search my record.
then it shouldn't be to hard for you to go ahead and state what teams she plays for.
...and with that Please enjoy this short videoCan you believe this???
The guy accusing a complete stranger of seeking participation awards is now crying that the same complete stranger owes him something and needs to pay up.
Look, not that this isn't a blast, big meat, but you come find me this summer and scream in my face like I'm one of the little girls who plays for you. My kid will be at stingrays and a few other tournaments that they won't let your team into collecting participation awards. I'm pretty hard to miss.
Now get that last word, punkin.

Hey, why not give Mike a little more fodder? Here is a handout I gave to parents each year at our parent meeting. I'm sure he will dislike most of it.
- A program is the ideas of the Head Coach. Certainly, this baseball program is! I have nurtured it and fed it through effort, love and heartache. My assistants have given the same devotion! I am proud to have Coach Bugger, Coach Drake, Coach Bay and Coach Deatherage on my staff!
- Naturally, you want to protect your child and agonize over turning your child over to a coaching staff. You must now do so. Let that coach now coach your child and evaluate what you have taught them through their new struggles, heartaches and achievements. You may be surprised and will be proud of the men that they have become.
- We have an overriding purpose larger than winning or losing in our program. It is the total package of what we help produce in your sons. Our program will be an extension of the classroom of life. Teaching baseball is not our sole objective. Winning is a by-product of what we teach, coach, and believe in.
- Our program grows and matures each day and each year. Our goals change as well. They increase in demands for success and commitment. While some of your sons have given a lot, we are going to ask for more!
- What I expect form my assistants:
- Passion
- Duty
- Loyalty
- Shoulder a portion of the burden. However, I will deal with any parent problems at any level.
- Some of our player expectations:
- Love for the game as well as themselves.
- Have a passion for achieving our team goals.
- Have a desire to compete at the very highest level against the best teams.
- We know what we know but we know what we know. Some people know what they know but they don?t really know what they know. We know what we know but we know what we know. You know!
- Your child may have unique talents. However, those talents will fit into our philosophy of both individual and team development.
- We will expect for you go give to our program in late suppers, dirty uniforms etc. Eventually, we will expect for your sons to give back to the program and the great game of baseball.
- Bud Wilkerson, former coach of the Oklahoma Sooners required his players to, ?Play against the game,? We talk to the players about this! The game of baseball is complete with every formula for defeat. It is in the count, it is in the strategies of the game and it is in the fabric of human nature. We expect your son to overcome all of this. EXCELLENCE IS EXPECTED!
- You don?t work long hard hours unless you love what you are doing. We love what we are doing and we will work long hard hours.
- Our greatest strength is our opponent?s greatest weakness! WORK ETHIC!
- REPETITION IS NO FUN BUT IT?S THE REASON WE HAVE WON.
- TAKE ONE DAY OFF AND YOU KNOW IT. TAKE TWO DAYS OFF AND YOUR OPPONENT KNOWS IT. TAKE THREE DAYS OFF AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT.
- It?s not what you teach, it?s what you emphasize. Emphasis will be placed on dedication, hard work and commitment.
- You are what you think you are! Your son will be expected to be a CHAMPION!
- Coaching strategies often come under fire from parents and fans. Keep negative comments to yourself. Questioning the coach will not change who the coach is but it could hurt your son?s loyalty to the coach and program. Disloyalty will not be tolerated. We know how to win and will do what we think is right. We/I do not believe in all of the ?unwritten rules of the game.? I coach with intensity and guts. Sometimes this will work and sometimes it will backfire on us. However, I have the moxie to make those choices and will, career wise, live with them.
- On a good team one or two players do the dirty jobs. On a great team everyone does the dirty jobs! We will not tolerate having a ?Star!?
- Invariably coaching comes down to the pain of discipline, regret and loss. I/we as a coaching staff have to live with this. We will always question why we fail to achieve. Ironically, we will seldom be exposed to the praise of achievement. Again, this is human nature. We accept this. Personally, I can tell you of every play that lost every game I have coached in my years of coaching. I can give player names, situations and each team we lost to. I can also tell you the winning percentage of each team that I have coached against my teams.
- If it comes down to you, your son or the program, that decision was made long ago.
- A good player can take coaching but a great player takes that coaching to a higher level. Today?s players can?t seem to differentiate between criticism and coaching. Your son should start worrying if we stop coaching/criticizing them.
- In the movie Hoosiers, the coach says, "I love you guys!" In fact, some of your sons and the coaching staff have very special relationships. Please don?t be jealous of this.
- Reputation is what people think about you. Really, in this context, I/we have no control over our reputations. I do, in fact, know what my reputation is. Character is what you are. Character is what you are when no one is around. We, as a staff, have a lot of character and attempt to pass that on to your son everyday.
- What are the best traits you have witnessed in coaching? As parents, we ask you to evaluate us and to ask yourself if we aren?t the type of people that you want your sons around. Now that is the total package not just some isolated case or incident. If I had a son, I would want him around us!
- Take the good from our program. We are proud of it! We are proud to be Knights! We are proud to represent our school and community. We are proud of our parents! We hope you share that same pride! Win or lose, support us with class!
Lol, look at all these darn 10u parents getting all worked up! Lol, listen after a while when you've been through all this for a while you'll learn to relax, have fun, and cherish the time, lol. Isn't that the speech the 10u parents get for acting this way.
FYI - It's Wilkinson, not Wilkerson.
