I don't see the relevance of 3 at all. It's impossible it wasn't a personal lack of responsibility on the kids part because there couldn't have possibly been 3 dehydrated kids out of 30?...C'mon, give me a break.

2021 tryouts this year...there were four (4) kids that bowed out to the side lines in the first 20 minutes because they were dehydrated. I always find it hard to believe that a kid would show up to a practice, no less a tryout dehydrated...but it happens. To me it's totally unacceptable because as an athlete it's a no brainer and can turn into a serious situation fast. But again, dumb parents = dumb kids. In their defense though...those kids did bow out when they started feeling sick.

If HS kids are too dumb to properly hydrate, too dumb to bow out when they start feeling sick or too dumb to run off and get water when they need it....that's called natural selection.

Kid's migrate to BW because they want to be challenged and want to get better...to get to the next level. That doesn't mean the coach is God!! So even IF Trig didn't call water for everybody at once...if you need a drink you go grab a f#$%ing drink....or did Trig have a gun to their heads too?

Uber liberal, PC and SOFT DMV parents are the underlying issue and they are breeding.
Some kids, especially younger ones, do not know what proper hydration is and certainly do not know to show up to a likely grueling practice already hydrated. Does BW provide preparation guidelines for practices, post-practice recovery guidelines, etc for parents who are not and have not been athletes? Also, seems like reps are more important at this time of year. Certainly, no amount of conditioning now is going to pay huge dividends in spring. Young players should start conditioning for spring in December and January, so it is strange they have such intense practices now. Another thing, no kid is going to take a break during one of these "practices" if everyone is essentially part of a long-running and constant tryout to make a tournament roster, if they even go to those. One note on the yelling and name-calling etc - it appears most of it is geared toward the parents watching these sessions. "My Johnny is getting the treatment and he can handle it." Parents even chuckle at his name-calling which then feeds on itself. Even the toughest, hard-nosed kid doesn't need all that to motivate himself. Very strange dynamic. Certainly DMV kids are more pampered than most, but coaching youth, high school, college, and even pros has evolved to largely do away with this neanderthal approach that people continue to label as "old school."
