This past week was one that I will never forget. My 12U Niners team got to participate in a once in a lifetime tournament in Cooperstown, NY. We ended up going 3-5, but we played some extremely tough teams and it was a week that myself and the boys will cherish forever. 
At some point during the week I smelt something funny. It wasn't the 14 stinky boys stuck in the barracks but something much, much worse. There were several parents upset about their sons playing time, and they banded together to try and break down what I have built up over the past few years. They called, texted and emailed our organizations ownership and told stories of me belittling the boys, swearing at them and other disgusting lies. If you know me at all you know that I would NEVER do any of those things. Clearly these parents were angry, but to make up lies about me hurt me very much. As far as their kids playing time I do what I have always done, I play kids based on effort, progress and production. I feel I have been extremely fair with playing time and this past week was no exception. It was in our second to last game that I started receiving texts from the Niners organization asking me what was going on. I was in shock and had no clue what was going on. They said that they heard my boys were all crying in the dugout... I looked over my shoulder and saw all of them with big smiles on their faces as I saw all year long. 
In the end I know that I did my best to give everyone of those boys the opportunity to play on a great team and experience something they may never get a chance to experience again. Those boys won't be returning to my team next year, but it's not because we don't want them, but because their parents lied, and tried to steal from me what I worked so hard to build. 
You can call it strong will, you can call it bullheadedness but I am like a freight train.... #NothingWillStopMe #NobodyWillStopMe
