One of the things that disappoints me about this board is the coach bashing. I, myself, can get caught up and frustrated with my kid's coaches so this is for me as well.
I lived the life of a high school coach for 15+ years in multple sports. I loved nearly every minute of it, but it is wearing. I could see the tole it took on my wife, the comments in the crowds bothered her. Most people dont have a clue of the sacrifices that coaches make for their teams nor the hours put in.
I just read this and wanted to share:

We seem to have lost the team first aspect of sports.
