I went from coaching the girls in softball to not knowing a damn thing about volleyball.Yes, most of them believe that their kid is going to get a scholarship to a college to play ball and then from there, who knows. I always tried to share the statistics of them even playing high school ball let alone college and/or pro. The stats are not on their side.
I was always hard on my son, but I spend a lot of time with him teaching him mechanics. He was a model student in that he listened to me and understood what I wanted him to do. I probably went over-board myself with how much I taught him. But at the end of the day, I always told him to just go out and have fun. When he struck out or made an error, I would always tell him to move past it. I have a lot of good memories of him and his friends playing baseball together. There are many proud moments and sad ones as well. I wouldn't trade that for anything. It's just sad that most parents are missing out on that aspect of youth sports.

I actually wish she would have taken up golf.

Parents telling their kids to fight ours, parents wanting to fight our parents, coaches mouthing off to my kids, and on and on. I carry a pistol everywhere I go and even on the ballfield. There were times where I was glad that I had it on me while we left the ballpark.

He was also in his Air Force camouflage.
He finally made a comment when the 100th outburst of his when I was resetting the ball that I asked him to stop contesting the ref. He literally laughed and said “ok you won’t do anything about it. Learn how to do your job” so I stopped in my tracks and flat out said if you open your mouth one more time I will red card you, eject you from the match. His coach finally pulled him over to the side.
It was amazing how at the end of the match when he was going to have to stand face to face with me he wanted to shake my hand and he didn’t have anything to say.
I didn’t shake dudes hand. Told him his behavior was 100% unacceptable and as a Marine vet he was totally disrespecting his uniform wearing out in public to get praises and acting like a 100% jackass. He asked if I was serious. I stared him in the eyes and he walked off.

A couple of his teammates left before the bs exhibition game they played against each other
I told my son that this a league that didn't have its stuff straight and I felt they were wasting everyone's time, but if he wanted to continue I would bring him
He said he would rather just play with his friends instead

btw I finally found an acceptable truck and bought it. '08 Silverado regular cab long bed. Manual windows and locks, 4.8L, weatherguard toolbox, sprayed in bed liner. All I need now is a gun rack and a ****** hound to ride shotgun.

I am always blown away by dudes in camouflage especially. cause we got in cams to get dirty.
But hell, it didn’t end with just military guys. I was referring a church circuit soccer games and that finally ended my any involvement in youth sports. Coach’s being jerks and were being really rude to a 16 year old female ref who was assisting me.
I tried to be rational with the one coach and asked him how Christlike it was picking on the female ref how he was and dude got angrier. He got madder.
I had already started looking for a new church to go to. They pushed me out the door harder. Yeah Christians are hypocrites but being violent over stupid things isn’t something I wanted to overlook.
