No my wife is on the wrestling board, but our coach can handle himself.
She also has two youth baseball clubs and that's where the real drama is. You have volunteer coaches getting attacked that their kid should bat here and pitch here and god forbid he plays the outfield .My saintly wife being the manager steps in to take the heat off the coach because she enjoys dealing with strange entitled people that need to be put in their place. I also do, but I'm not allowed to speak. And she's right, if we want to keep building I need stay out of it. but, but, but It's fun having four boys involved in all sports. Time go goes do fast, get involved it's easy and they need your help.
Sorry it looks like hell. I shattered my screen tonight... and the whiskey
I was just breaking your balls! Wife's are definitely the unsung heroes in many youth sport organizations! I do think that coaches definitely need a buffer, or all they would have time for, is listening to complaints. I just didn't agree with your opinion that the coach quitting because of the parents/athletes was a pussy. I have a friend that coached wrestling all of his life. Very old school, and very tough. He treated every wrestler exactly the same, and expected no less then their best at all times. He would chew your ass (sometimes nuclear)if you came off the mat, and had just turned in a piss poor performance, or made a bonehead mistake. Most of the parents thought that he was too hard on the boys. What they didn't see was the pat on the back the next day at practice, and the attention given to fix the mistake that was made. The man loves wrestling, and loved his wrestlers. He could handle the athletes when they complained. He just got so burnt out by the parents wanting their child to be coddled. I definitely wouldn't call him a pussy, or a quitter!
