Now you know why I learned to be a better coach so I don't have to sit with the parents!<br />I hope you enjoy this little journey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663392446555310418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866124974026604202.post-25354179163553328962012-03-01T20:33:42.779-05:002012-03-01T20:33:42.779-05:00I definitely agree with that, way to many people a...I definitely agree with that, way to many people are putting winning and pushing kids way to hard when it's just not appropriate. Prime example, I was watching a peewee hockey game, and listened to the parents for about 10 minutes and it was incredible, hearing them yelling at their kids, at the refs, the coaches, it was a mess. I'm shocked that any of those kids want to go to the rink and will want to pursue hockey as a lifelong sport. Dont' worry I see where you're thoughts are on it and definitely agree. I like this idea for a blog.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750571432885533646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866124974026604202.post-44266527672862098382012-03-01T18:38:31.108-05:002012-03-01T18:38:31.108-05:00Thanks for the comment, Brent.

What I find is there are too many people focused on the Win at all Costs approach, which is ruining the experience for others in House League.<br />Stick with me and keep commenting, I appreciate the input.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663392446555310418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7866124974026604202.post-61402697801996621982012-03-01T18:28:21.714-05:002012-03-01T18:28:21.714-05:00Hey Will, I agree with the definitions to an exten...Hey Will, I agree with the definitions to an extent. Just because a sport is house league, obviously I'll use hockey as my example, it doesn't mean that you need to completely take the competition out of it. It's still a valuable life skill for someone to develop a sense of competition. It doesn't need to be a cut throat sense, or in any way shift the priority of having fun, developing skill sets, etc, I just think competition can supplement all the other aspects of house league if its approached in the correct way. Just my two sense.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750571432885533646noreply@blogger.com
