Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 7-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 any bad names. 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 mother. ;-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
