Thought I would bring this lively discussion back to softball reality and not WWII
I would say that the majority of posters do not like running/sprinting being used to "punish" players and that was really the reason I started this thread to see what others have experienced on their teams. With that said, I think you need to pick your battles and look at the totality of coaching received by the TB organization, not just one aspect of it that you may or may not like. Last night I asked my DD her opinion of having to run after games sometimes for players committing mental errors, not paying attention, etc. and she said "what's the point of having to do that?" Clearly she is not a fan of this coaching practice but I have a gut feeling she will survive this season and won't lose her love of the game.
