Coaches curse

We lost both ends of a doubleheader today, giving us our first two losses of the year.

The game sucked, and some of the kids' attitudes sucked. I cursed at a kid, in fact, telling a particularly lazy kid to go get the fucking foul ball. Afterwards, the mother approached me in the parking lot, cursed me out, and expected me - apparently - to apologize. I'm not sure why a 17-year old kid gets his mother to do his talking for him, but I'm certainly disappointed in the way he conducted himself. The whole situation is coming to a head tomorrow, when I'm expecting another confrontation.

Sometimes, coaches curse. Will I apologize if I hurt his feelings? Yup. Will I ever do it again? I'm sure I will.

I hate to say it, but it's been a rough year and I'm ready for it to finish. A 7-2 record is great and all, but I'm tired, cranky, unhealthy, and my 9th period barely knows who I am anymore.

It's May now and the end is in sight. I hope the F word didn't get you in too much trouble.

This whole blow-out is insane. The mom should just hush! I mean seriously, coaches lose it and coaches sometimes use foul language to get attention! I quit being the cheerleading coach not because of the girls, but because of the parents. I just got tired of dealing with the parent drama. It always seems that those who extend their necks and do more for the kids end up being the ones who get the most flak!
