That is awesome, I quit coaching because of the parents

I'll agree with most of it. I have no problem with a parent shouting encouragement. I don't want derogatory statements. I also hate coaching from the stands. If you want to coach sign up and get a team.

From the article...

I know this works because this was how I was taught the game and how our parents acted in the stands. We started our little league team when I was 10 years old in a little suburb of Columbus, Ohio. We had a very disciplined coach that expected the same from us. We committed 8 summers to this man and we were rewarded for our efforts. I went to Michigan, one went to Duke, one to Miami of Florida, two went to North Carolina, one went to Central Florida, one went to Kent State, and most of the others played smaller division one or division two baseball. Four of us went on to play professionally. This was coming from a town where no one had ever been recruited by any colleges.

Very impressive! Thanks for posting.
