Weather it be kids in school or professional. The issue of health is so important. If a coach asks a player to run or play whatever sport with an injury...THAT'S WRONG. Great post great point!!!<br />Hugs, JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496069719875179788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-29783060112817765502011-08-12T06:13:27.490-06:002011-08-12T06:13:27.490-06:00We haven't started sports here yet.

When he tore his miniscus during a game, the doctor told him to wait a certain amount of time after the surgery before playing again. However, when the championship game came around, the Coach put so much pressure on him to play that it was ridiculous. He just didn't care about my son's long-term experience with that knee. All he wanted to do was win.<br /><br />Really made me mad!<br /><br />"/Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-15047245742402028672011-08-11T08:47:03.173-06:002011-08-11T08:47:03.173-06:00I hate that some coaches push their kids so hard w...I hate that some coaches push their kids so hard with no regard for anything outside of the sport itself.

Those who care not for the child's heart, should not be molding children. Period.<br />The best kind of coach is one who teaches the love of the sport, something that the child can take with them throughout their lives and pass onto others. One who can gently push them to their best, not somebody else's best, but their best. To help them climb to the top of who they are and to do so without injury. <br />Winning isn't everything. The best coach teaches you how to fail.<br />Hugs- TeteTetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697150195734655635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8965293212962953575.post-47850105532956263982011-08-11T07:56:25.993-06:002011-08-11T07:56:25.993-06:00Kids are definitely pushed beyond reason sometimes...Kids are definitely pushed beyond reason sometimes.
