Little rant:
I got voted to coach my towns 8U softball all star team. I brought the 2 assistants that have been with me all year. I’ve coached the majority of the girls team for 3 seasons now. Most of the parents know me and how we operate. No coming to dugout during games. I bring water and other necessities for the girls.

I’ve had parents whisper/yell at their daughters really mean things.

So tonight we have a scrimmage to get ready for district. Our third base lady missed a pop up. No big deal. After the inning is over I talk to her about getting under the ball and we will work on it more next practice. The dad comes over and yells at her, she starts crying. I ask his daughter to come to the fence and cheer on her team with the other girls. He says it’s my daughter she will come over there when I tell her. I ask her again to go and she does so. I ask him what good does that do during the game. He said if I coached better he wouldn’t have to say anything to his daughter. I told him if he doesn’t like the way I coach, there’s a form at the beginning of every year asking parents who want to coach. Told him to put in for it. These girls are 8 yo. Man it breaks my heart seeing these girls cry cuz a grownup yelling at them. Please don’t let that be any of
Us with our children.

Yep
Parents are psycho
My son is 2 and I’ve told my wife I’m not coaching anything bc parents are insane assholes when it comes to youth sports
Some of my friends have kids 5-17 and they all say baseball, softball, dance, youth football, the parents get way out of hand. It’s like they are trying to relive their youth.
I will say my buddy whose sons play soccer say they actually never have a any problems with parents compared to the other sports

Man. The odds that girl is going to keep playing softball into high school low. That dude sucks. I feel sorry for her.
 
Good one for me. Hope everyone is well.

June 11, 2025: It has been a hectic time with many things to do and to worry about, but you need a break. Take one thing at a time, one day at a time, and allow your body to rest and recover. Regain your strength before you move on to the next thing. You can do this by spending time in My presence; I am your spring of life, says the Lord. Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.

I had a dad come out of the stands and threaten to kick my azz for taking his daughter out of the lineup with three minutes left in a playoff game. I was planning on putting her back in just resting her. A few months later he was DUI and rolled his truck with her in it unrestrained. Luckily only broke her leg. There were several other issues but that was the worst. I stopped coaching because of parents. This was 10U basketball.
 
Basically all of those coaches have either won a NC as a head coach or they have won it as an assistant coach. That would be an incredible athletic department lol.

Petrino / Hugh Freeze have won nothing. Idk who Jeff Banks is.

The rest are incredible coaches! Eh except for maybe Muschamp. Not sold on that guy.

Parents🫣😢
I had a mother threaten me with a bat after a game one night because I wouldn’t let her son play infield but instead always had him in the outfield. I said because I care about your son’s safety. He can field grounders or heaven forbid a line drive.
At first she tried blaming me but I reminded her, her son only made half the practices and none of the extra work Saturdays.
On all my teams we informed parents that if their child needed a ride to or from practices ,we would make sure they could get a ride. Thankfully someone called the police because she was past being reasoned with. They walked her out of the park but it was touch and go for a minute😬
