And it's not America obviously. Maybe it's the norm for parents to not attend the practice and participate in post practice activities??
WTF is a post practice activity? And who the hell wants to go watch a practice?

It’s the Daily Telegraph link from a few pages ago. Unless you speak Thai it’s not very helpful right now.

Soemone asked would it have helped if a parent had been along --- this was something that was done after a practice from what I remember reading. And that's my point --- here parents go to practice to watch and bitch --- there the parents perhaps let a coach do his/her job and get the kid to practice and then the coach is in charge.

"Rescue mission is underway, governor confirms
The rescue mission has begun, the governor has confirmed at a press conference this morning.

18 divers have been sent into the caves to retrieve the 12 boys and their football coach. The 13 people inside the cave have been informed and are ready and their families have been informed.

Medical teams have been rehearsing for three days and are ready to treat the group when they emerge."

That makes more sense if it were an after practice field trip. And if all the boys were on bikes tells me they probably all lived in the same village that was fairly close and the parents weren’t helicopter parents so they weren’t around.

I just hope these kids and the responders all make it out alive.

People can second guess whether or not these boys should have been in this cave to begin with, but this coach is a hero in my eyes. At the age of 25, to be able to keep the morale of 12 kids up in a pitch black cave with limited food and water for as long as he did? Amazing.

quote:

Ekapol, who left his life in the monkhood three years ago and joined the Wild Boars as an assistant coach soon after, is an almost divine force, sent to protect the boys as they go through this ordeal.

According to rescue officials, he is among the weakest in the group, in part because he gave the boys his share of the limited food and water they had with them in the early days. He also taught the boys how to meditate and how to conserve as much energy as possible until they were found. 

If he didn’t go with them, what would have happened to my child?” said the mother of Pornchai Khamluang, one of the boys in the cave, in an interview with a Thai television network. “When he comes out, we have to heal his heart. My dear Ek, I would never blame you.”

Ekapol was an orphan who lost his parents at age 10, friends say. He then trained to be a monk but left the monastery to care for his ailing grandmother in Mae Sai in northern Thailand. There, he split his time between working as a temple hand at a monastery and training the newly established Moo Pa team. He found kindred spirits in the boys, many of whom had grown up poor or were stateless ethnic minorities, common in this border area between Myanmar and Thailand. 

He loved them more than himself,” said Joy Khampai, a longtime friend of Ekapol’s who works at a coffee stand in the Mae Sai monastery.
