How big is your hard drive?
Real men don't have patience for that sort of nonsense, they scan the first few pages and ask the wife for details later on.
Sorry for pointing out the obvious, but who seems the be the common denominator in this little mathematical equation?
j/k you ..lol
HAHAHA!!! That was funny!
Personally, I don't think guys should be able to coach unless they can:
A) put a girl's hair back into her ponytail that she had to take out to be able to wear her batting helmet.
B) recite at least 5 cheers from memory
C) remove stud earrings from an ear that was just recently pierced.
D) believe that sometimes crying after a strikeout really does help.
E) not be shocked when the girls have burp contests in the dugout.
F) discriminate the difference between "Coach, I have to go to the bathroom" and "Coach, I have to go to the Baaaaaath rooooom"
G) Agree that butterflies really are pretty.

There are differences between any two groups of kids, boys/girls/young/old. I used to coach boys and girls sports and gravitated towards the girls sports mainly because of the shortage of volunteers for girls sports in our area. I'm making the transition back to boys sports now that I'm no longer coaching my daughter and I'm finding that everything I learned about coaching "girls" in terms of communication, discipline, respect, and integrity apply regardless of gender. I can be just as bewildered by an atypical 13 year old boy as I was by an atypical 13 year old girl. Most of the time coaching boils down to figuring out to communicate to that last 10% that you can't get through to conventionally.
LOL, What an awesome list! I agree with all of them, however, even as a dad of 2 daughters, I could not learn how to do a ponytail (or even fix one) if my life depended on it...
I also learned (from wanting to crawl under a rock experience) to NEVER ask the question: You seem a little down and grumpy today, are you feeling ok?? lol

Just a note: That manual has to be that big to contain the pictures, so the males can understand it. However it has failed to improve the males understanding of the female mind due to the fact that the men keep looking for the centerfold photo and don't actually pay attention to the true meaning of the manual.
Wow! Brutal.
Do you think that book might have a centerfold
Screwball, do you really think the comment you made was reasonable? I have read hundreds of your posts and remembered that once you were considering leaving coaching because people are so mean spirited. I will give you nickels worth of free advice and that would be to quit taking yourself so seriously. Laugh when it's funny and don't when it's not. Why would you waste one second of your life commenting on something so insignificant in the scope of your life.
