We did that in 4 takes! A lot of fun. Took a break from CF for a little bit to let football and basketball (maryland) emotions to dwindle back.

That was good but could have used more cowbell and more boat shoes (only saw one pair in the whole video).

Just read the BB game thread, that can be some painful reading. **** I don't know how some people can be so negative about any/everything.
 
Is there a way to list the expectations the coaches have of the players overall in terms of getting playing time? A way to gently point out that their son not playing is likely more due to his lack of effort than the coach's fault? Maybe charting the active participation in practices, extra practice shots made? That will only work if it's lack of effort, though.

If it's a lack of innate skill there really isn't a gentle way to tell them that other boys have passed their son by in terms of athletic prowess.

I don't subscribe to the participation ribbon theory, but I also think that too many parents are stage/sideline parents who drive their kids long past the point of where the kid is actually having fun anymore. Competition or not, they're still just kids playing a game. :)


The kid would have skills if he just practiced outside of the season. He's quick and athletic, but when you can barely pass or dribble without getting in trouble.

We sucked in high school but the coach made us chart working out in the summer. It made a difference for who got jerseys on bottom end guys like me, not really for starters.

I like the idea of list of expectations.
