Message: [QUOTE="AlaskaSU, post: 1221107, member: 230"] In competitive sports everything is contingent on performance. When I coached adult sports, (volunteer - I'm not good enough to get paid) I listened to other coaches and the advice I took is that its all about winning. I got good players and gave them all the minutes. Some players got splinters but they hopefully had fun in practices and even improved. Some complained but it was drowned out by the overwhelming winning spirit. Winning cures everything. Similarly, losing infects everything. It would be fine for a parent to post for a winning team but nothing but trouble to post for a losing team. I feared that this might happen. Losing also leads to team dissention. Players, like fans, look for answers. Buckle up, this season will be lumpy. [/QUOTE]
