BASKETBALL

Whew... it is almost over.

I've notice a lot over the last six weeks about twelve year old boys who play sports.

1- They think they know everything
2- They think they are the coolest
3- They don't respect women

I don't say any of this to be mean. I loved coaching (some of the time) and but I love that it will be over on Tuesday. Seriously, for some reason a woman's voice is on a frequency level that 12 year old boys simply cannot hear. They say things and do things to me that they would NEVER say or do if they had a male coach. They think they can change the plays I give them in order to better them and then get mad at me when the plays aren't working.

I have to say, coaching girls better be a lot more simple or I'll rip out all my hair.

Coaches to get paid enough. Having to deal with kids with attitude that don't want to listen, parents that don't pick their kids up on time, teachers that are full of advice you never asked for, and a dad that gets angry when his son doesn't get enough playing time in one game. Not to mention refs that don't know what they are doing and refs that are prejudice against female coaches.

I can't wait to start coaching the girls team. It can't be any worse than that, right?
