A discussion starter....
After being around school ball and many travel ball games and coaches in my last 8 years or so, this topic is one that I find interesting (sarcasm). I will preface the following and say that yes girls have certainly cried under my watch and for reasons related to my ignorance. BUT, improvement with my own skills as a leader of young ladies was needed and acheived.
My point... I've seen, been called about, and even had to fix ugly situations due to emotions getting the best of some at times. In my experience, I've seen more girls crying in high school ball than any where. To the point I can't help think (at times) it's a goal for some coaches to be coachholes and not be happy till one or more are distraught with tears. In will also state that travel coaches are known to have this knack and as with any other coach can also take sport in creating tears. Please note that I'm not trying to make this all about HS coaches. Just seems the teeter todders a lil bit more in one direction. Is it due to the pressure, talent related, the fact that they are paid, or what...? What do you see and what are your views?
