myself as a coach also I've received those same phone calls after championship games as well. it's the last phone call you want to receive. but if a kid.is hiding at the end of the bench and each team has a few then how do you get him on the field. I had a kid in a game some years back, we were up by quite a few in a game and I figured it was time to clear the bench and make sure all the boys get ample playing time when I looked to my right and called his name, you know what he told me? I have a stomach ache. this was a twelve year old not a six year old |
