Seems every season this topic
GOOD PLAYER/bad person happens on some team or age bracket. When a coach or people brings it up to talk.
After describing over and over the complications from it...
My reply now is not a discussion.
Its an answer!
GET RID OF THEM
Perhaps ya'all here would like to discuss it.
Or maybe you just have answer too!
ENJOY A HEALTHY TEAM EXPERIENCE !
Honestly, in 30+ years of coaching, I've never had any trouble with a player. The players knew I controlled playing time, and they wanted to play. My expectations as to playing and conduct were always very clear and they knew what I expected to get to play. I tried very hard to be fair.
Now, *parents* are another story. Fixing crazy softball parents is almost impossible.
(When asked who made the best softball players, Ed Serdar would always answer, "Orphans.")
