~Coaching~
At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball
player aside and asked,
>
> "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"
>
> The little boy nodded in the affirmative.
>
> "Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as
a team?"
>
> The little boy nodded yes.
>
> "So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you
shouldn't argue, curse, attack the umpire, or call him a pecker-head. Do
you understand all that?"
>
> The little boy nodded again.
>
> He continued, "And when I take you out of the game so another boy gets a
chance to play, it's not good sportsmanship to call your coach a dumb ass is
it?"
>
> Again, the little boy nodded.
>
> "Good," said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your
father .”
