re: First Soccer Mom “Karen” Experience

You likely cost him his pro soccer career by refusing to reschedule the practice. I don't blame her for pulling her kid.

I coached t-ball one year in Mt. Home, AR. We had a girl on our team, who at six years old was not much of a player. At least she never sat on the ground in the outfield during the game, like some of the boys did. I had a parent (mother) come to me after a game and tell me,

"If you will ride her unmercifully, all the time, she will quit, and the team will do better."

I told her to go to hell and quit coaching after the season ended. Have not missed ending my coaching career any at all.
