What a nice thing for a grown man to say to a bunch of 10-11 year olds. That's not someone I would want coaching my kid. But I bet 45/45 of those express A team invites all got accepted within the first 30 seconds. Some of these parents are living vicariously thru their kid and its sad. And the mean comments about kids that are 11 years old on this thread is whats ruining youth sports. Lets get a grip people and be kinder to other peoples kids.


I agree that's completely uncalled for if it occurred. But understand there are 91 coaches on various age brackets who act the same and tear down the kids on the team they are supposed to be coaching. As parents on all these high end teams you are allowing this to continue.
It's not just express where this is a huge issue.
