Coaching
>>
>>At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old
>>baseball
>>players aside and asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What
a
>>team
>>is?"
>>
>>The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
>>
>>"Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose
>>together as
>>a
>>team?"
>>
>>The little boy nodded yes.
>>
>>"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called,
>>you shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a
>>pecker-head. Do you understand all that?"
>>
>>Again the little boy nodded.
>>
>>He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets
>>a chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach 'a
>>dumb ass' is it?"
>>
>>Again the little boy nodded.
>>
>>"Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to
>>your grandmother".
