It's the Coach's Fault

""It's the coach's fault..."" a phrase used in sports. I'd like to take a look at the phrase, not just sports related, but also in the social environment. We are evaluated from many different viewpoints. In the end, regardless of the result, we can look back and say ""it's the coach's fault"". Maybe most of the things in this book will have no effect on you do, but maybe one sentence - a comment about coaching, teaching, playing, officiating, or parenting will jump out at you. Maybe one sentence strikes a chord to influence you to think differently about something. One item may cause you to change an offense or do something different with your kids, or do something different as a ref. If one sentence causes you to coach your team a little differently - If something results in your being less argumentative or better capable of holding your ground and doing what's best for you - if something affects a change in what you do, then everything that I have written here will have served its purpose....
