[QUOTE="myeverything04, post: 501541, member: 13522"] I find that more and more junior high and high school coaches are expecting too much from children. I don't know if his coach has ever "went off" on anyone else on the team, but it may be worth checking into (maybe ask your son when the timing is right). His behavior is unexceptable in my opinion, and I'm sure in LOTs of parents opinions. I am starting to see though that this is what it's like when kids (especially boys) play sports in junior high/high school. I'm not at all saying I agree but have seen the same thing with my nephews here in Ohio. It's like these coaches think the sport is the only thing in the world. Like they are coaching the olympic team or something. I think you did an awesome job at taking it to the next level by emailing the Athletic Director. No child (or teen) needs to be treated this way, regardless. [/QUOTE]
