As a mom of a soccer goalie over the pas...Hi Cathy,<br />As a mom of a soccer goalie over the past five years, I know how hard the position is for the parent. Their one mistake can make the difference of a win or loss. We also used to play a team that became quite aggressive, not only verbally but physically, my daughter had a huge bump on her head to prove it. Thankfully our coach was aware of the history and because both teams were from our club went into the "older" girls dressing room and told them he wanted a clean game. True to his word, when they started losing and became he chippy, he walked onto the pitch and called the game. Just stopped it and walked off with the team. I will always remember it. We had a great coach,<br />DanaDana @ Bungalow'56https://www.blogger.com/profile/14925373078487563897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704816692530162068.post-72019632073426029852010-04-24T08:36:46.258-04:002010-04-24T08:36:46.258-04:00Thanks for your visit to my blog and I am SO jealo...Thanks for your visit to my blog and I am SO jealous you were staying by the Arc!

It never ceases to amaze me how many grown adults don't even understand this very simple concept.<br /><br />Now...what is wrong with that team coach!? I could write an entire blog dedicated to dealing with folks that do that sort of stuff, to children, nonetheless. I'll take the negative energy and turn it into power! :))No namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271263985764088812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704816692530162068.post-58099268759194721532010-04-23T10:54:53.211-04:002010-04-23T10:54:53.211-04:00Brilliant post, Cathy!!

You expect to hear smack talk from the other team's players, but the coaches should be fired on the spot for such behavior. Good for you for filing a complaint, and hope there are consequences. Mr. F sounds like a stellar young man....you helped shape him! xo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704816692530162068.post-48374376183781228222010-04-23T10:52:54.649-04:002010-04-23T10:52:54.649-04:00Thanks for your fun comment on my blog.

That coach obviously doesn't have a true love for the game....he just wants to win by trying to defeat the opposing players with his words. <br />Glad it didn't work for him that time.<br /><br />Great pic of the 2 of you!<br /><br />Now I'm off to my sons baseball game.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292381619675040864noreply@blogger.com
