Just when I thought fastpitch softball had cornered the market on psycho coaches.....I came across this gem last night on one of the football message boards. Not sure if this is legit or tongue in cheek, but it is still funny!!!
I had a dynamite draft for my youth FB team tonight
I'd give myself an A or an A+. Just a great mix of addressing needs, getting some great athletes and nasty hitters on defense, a few underrated players and finished off the last rounds draft with several kids I feel pretty certain I'll be able to run off by Labor Day. Got some intel before the draft that one kid played the piccolo so I snapped him up immediately after all of the useful players were taken. I'll put the over/under on him at two practices.
Just sent an email to the parents congratulating them on having their sons drafted to this team. I've asked them all to get high and tight haircuts this weekend. I negotiated a deal at the local Great Clips where they can get one for just $3.00. I also distributed the offensive and defensive playbooks and asked all the parents to take 30 minutes out of their kids normal homework time each night to learn the plays in advance of next Thursday's practice. Lastly, I asked them to try and keep non-football related school absences to a minimum, because throughout the year I'll be asking the to hold their kids out of school for the entire day or pick them up early so they can focus on certain games.
We'll see how much butthurt that inspires. It's going to get worse before it gets better, but that's part of the weeding out process.
