If you opinion is that it is OK for players to sit quietly on the bench while their teammates are playing, I disagree.
- It is still a team sport - support your team
- If you're going to sit quietly by yourself when you're not playing, you might as well not be in the dugout
- Who says your going to automatically bring the energy when it is your turn
- Do you want your team to encourage you when your turn is up? Do you want them to celebrate your successes? Then do it for them too.
- Starters have been kicked off of D1 teams for bad attitude - addition by subtraction they call it
- IMO College coaches don't go to games to gage your skill nearly as much as to see your engagement with the game and your teammates
- It's darn hard to hit a moving sphere with a cylinder squarely - you need all the support you can get
- Have you seen bench players for college BB teams? Their are definitely not sitting there quietly thinking about themselves.
- If you want to quietly support your team from afar - play golf.
Sorry if too blunt, but I believe the cheering and chanting is part of what makes softball softball. And you see coaches comment on it all the time - that they want their players vocally engaged.
