August 18, 200818 yr Not too many can say they have. I have dealt with regional players of the year and all-state honorable mention. I did not let them do things like that. OK. There are thousands of "regional" stars and almost as many "honorable mentions". Apples and anchovies...
August 18, 200818 yr You didn't seem to have much problem with Phelps going wild in his context. It's less about race, and more about background... I did somewhat but I seen him celebrated with teammates and himself after the race. That to me is the big difference. I have already said I don't like it when my favorite baseball player, Pujols, admires a HR. I am old school, play the game hard and don't show up your competition.
August 18, 200818 yr OK. There are thousands of "regional" stars and almost as many "honorable mentions". Apples and anchovies... You ask and I told you. I also said, How many do? Not many get to coach world classs athletes.
August 18, 200818 yr I am old school, play the game hard and don't show up your competition. Might want to give up big time sports. Those days are dead...
August 18, 200818 yr Might want to give up big time sports. Those days are dead... Not where I coach. My teams are known for hard scrappy play and for not showboating.
August 18, 200818 yr You ask and I told you. I also said, How many do? Not many get to coach world classs athletes. And in turn not many get to know how to deal with it. Bolt ran an amazing race, coasted for 20 and celebrated early. It's the end of sports as we know it...
August 18, 200818 yr Not where I coach. My teams are known for hard scrappy play and for not showboating. Because you have minimal talent. It goes hand in hand...
August 18, 200818 yr If I was Usain Bolt, and I was that far ahead, I probably would have turned around and back-pedaled to a gold medal...
August 18, 200818 yr Because you have minimal talent. It goes hand in hand... I've had talented players, not world class, but they find out quick that is the way to play.
August 18, 200818 yr "Showboating" is part of major sports today. You see it in everything. Basketball, Football, Baseball, Track and even swimming. When you deal with world class athletes, some will showboat while other will go about their business. Personally, I don't like it when athletes showboat either, but it happens and you just have to move on.
August 18, 200818 yr I've had talented players, not world class, but they find out quick that is the way to play. It's not a shot, it's reality. World class is one thing, and destroying world class is in its own realm...
August 18, 200818 yr Women's softball scores nine in the top of the first against the host Chinese. They are unbeatable. That is why the olympics are dropping softball. The USA completely dominates the sport. It is a shame that this is it for softball.
