Ridiculous

Stuff went down at Brent's football game tonight that was just ridiculous. I find it extremely pathetic when a grown man can't handle his own ego so he childishly takes it out on a 17 year old. What are you trying to prove? That you're not only not a very good coach, but you're not a very good person either? Why even hire assistants if you are not going to listen to them? Sometimes a game becomes just that, a game. It is no longer a matter of losing or winning but a matter of decency, of setting an example for young boys who are learning, from you, how to become respectable men. Not to be used to destroy the already wavering confidence of teenagers and the game they love. Realize that mistakes will be made on the field and in life, but teach on them grow from them, and never give up on something or someone because of them. What are you trying to say? That if you fall down once, you will never get back up and you will never be given another chance, so you might as well quit now? That will get you far in life. Set aside your overwhelming pride and take responsibility, don't push it onto the plate of a kid whose life is already overflowing with stuff you could never imagine. The whole thing just makes me sick. I would hate to see Brent walk away from a game he is passionate about, that he excells at, and that could get him into college, because he has heard for yet another time in his life that he is not good enough....when all evidence points out that he is.
And now I will get off my soapbox.
