Can't send you a PM - you have exceeded your limit per the Forum Czars. Tried twice yesterday to thank you before the game but they came back with "Sorry's, his box is full!"

Maybe you have been hacked!

We are having a statue erected in front of the school today in your honor. We have another game tonight - any new "nuggets"!

You know...it's fascinating that you guys are talking about this aspect of it all (players and coaches). I've always wondered when I watched high school soccer about the almost infinite patience of so many coaches for their players explicitly ignoring and doing the opposite of what the coach says.

I've never known if this was because soccer is somehow different than any other sport with which I'm familiar -- or whether it's indicative of a more permissive era.

When you get an answer let me know. I often wait for a player's head to start spinning around a la Poltergeist right after some nugget of wisdom sharing episode.

Almost had a meltdown during pregame yesterday when during the very serious Coaches' Game Plan portion two players were caught taking phone camera pictures of their hair.

We taped them to the desks. May still be there.

HS, club, ODP, MNT, either way it's a character building experience.

I keep my 4-year old granddaughter and 2-year old grandson for three days for relaxing after a hard period of coaching. Seems to bring everything back into focus.

Nine Krispy Kreme doughnuts in 30 minutes will fix about anything for about 10 minutes.

The phones or the players?

Players. We made them put the phones in their mouths before we taped them shut, and then taped them to their desks.....Oh, my wife just told me to stop daydreaming and napping and get up and go to the game!
