Plenty of parents hated Joe and thought nothing of letting him know right to his face, in no uncertain terms, that he was the worst coach in the league.
The Little Monsters hadn’t won a game all season; even worse they hadn’t even scored a run, not one.
But I saw a different side to Joe, and came to appreciate him all the more because my kid came home from every game, not sad that they had lost, but happy and proud that he had played his best and because he’d had fun.

Having spent many years warming a bench while my kids played their hearts out, I learned to ignore those loud mean parents and enjoy the game for the sake of the game. 😉

My brother coached when his kids were little. He got a lot of abuse because he always made sure everybody played in every game no matter their skill level. The kids loved him!

Reblogged this on Pastor Michael Moore's Blog and commented:
Brilliant! That is the purpose of the game for the kids… Sadly, I often find that parents are the worst behaved at these games…
