So which sport do you coach??

 

Not so sure I would be happy with your comment if it was my daughter. As I watch this game how do you know she may not be feeling well? Not trying to make excuses but just giving this young lady the benefit of the doubt.

This one is a "Malox special". :facepalm:

Softball.

 

I call it how I see it, and I'm not alone with that assessment.

 

She had a "rough" 1st half.

It's funny how no one EVER has a problem when a player is praised for a good game, yet the minute you call them out for having a poor performance it's the "end of the world". :ohbrother:

 

I'm the biggest supporter of NewCath athletics on this board, but I think I am fair in my assessment, good or bad. Anybody watching that game tonight would say Alexus was having a bad 1st half. There have been PLENTY of times I've "sung her praise", and deservingly so.

 

I think Alexus is a great assets to this team and I want nothing but the best for her, just thought her performance in the 1st half was sub-par.

Your quote if I am not mistaken.

 

IMO I do not feel it is the place of someone/parent/adult to call out a student/athlete that is 17 or 18 years old. While I feel this forum is for objective comments good or bad, to call out a young adult if feel is just not the right thing. Is it your place to "call them out" as you put it? When working with teenage student/athletes they are just that ...... TEENAGE and impressionable and have feelings. We all know that players will read things such as this and if you think it doesn't leave a hurt feeling in that young ladies heart..... well think again. By your own admission you have a daughter, you may say you can accept if your comments such as this are made about your daughter and you may be fine, but how would your daughter feel??? Seems to me you are missing the big picture. Its not about adults, its about the teenage student/athlete you are "calling out", that's what you may need to consider.

 

To me its up to the coach to take care of "sub-par" performances. So my question is, if she had a bad first half which I witnessed and in the second half she seemed to pick it up a bit which I also witnessed, was it due to your "calling her out" or a coaches adjustment???

 

The point to my response to your first comment, was to consider the players feelings and possible damage it could not only do to her, but also team chemistry.
