Parents need to step aside and let there kids experience life on there own and not try to make excuses for every disappointment that comes along. In other words let them become there own man, not some cheap carbon copy of what you think you once were or could have been. When it comes to sports and life people excel at different times and at different things you can't control that. So if your kid doesn't start on the football or basketball team you should support him, encourage him, and hepl him to improve. I'm sick of these excuses that the problem is the coach or that your kid doesn't have the right last name. Which may be the problem in some cases but not all, I don't know. But unless every player on that team has the same last name or other players are complaining about the coaching you have no leg to stand on with your excuses. I think its great if a kid excels enough to advance to another level and the community should support him as they should every player. The questions you should ask yourself are: Are you jealous of this gifted athlete because it's not your son? Are you jealous of this families name that makes there kid play? If any of these are true that is very sad because that is the example you are setting for your child and basically you are setting him up for failure. Your only young once so let your kid enjoy it don't push all of your closed minded thought onto them. Let them grow up into there own man and be proud of there accomplishments.

kid dynomite, your comment only shows the level of ignorance I'm talking about being predicated on these websites. Absolutely classless and pathetic!

C'mon don't you think it's a little strange. I don't find myself wanted to spend all my time with preteen boys. Ever consider just becoming a big brother or scoutmaster?

Well at first I just wanted to pin a medal to your chest Mr. Fredrickson...and then I realized you are probably suffering from a severe case of jock envy. Seems most of the jocks or wanna be jocks in Glenville just don't give up. They just keep returning to the school in the postion of a coach of some type or another. Ever notice? Is it that you never made it, and just can't give up the adoration or what? Good grief, get a life and leave the little jock thing to the kids. Oh ya...I know....you do it for the kids....right.....You are just beating yourself to death for the kids....If I didn't know better I might have even believed your spiel. .....take a look at the other coaches and tell me that they didn't play sports in Glenville....at least most of them.....Grow up.
--------------
A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Hey Dan - short and to the point, I don't know anything about the story you were talking about, but I want to say good luck keeping up your hectic schedule. As for those on here who have no idea what it takes to be a coach (that's everyone based on their reactions) grow up a little bit. Is it that bad that this guy (who I don't know) finds enjoyment making his players better people and (probably) better athletes? As opposed to 'jock envy' (Mamma's quote), is this success envy? Someone is able to find success, so those on here who probably are jealous of it try to make up things to feel better about themselves. (Mamma came up with jock envy, Kid Dyn-o-mite came up with the preteen lust (by the way, why is it better to be a big brother or a scoutmaster than a coach?), minnow probably never played a sport (it's just basketball? those who play it can gain a lot through their coach, Tiger (although well-thought out) explained why he didn't care about GE sports (why continue to comment if you don't care?), Shaker and Maddog just talked about how tough they are..."He don't know me very well, does he shaker"
Mainly, I'm just trying to say keep up the good work, Dan, and don't let these people get to you (I made that mistake before).

Shaker and Maddog just talked about how tough they are--- We hear this from our resident punk at college with all his wisdom and knowledge. Punk, I was refering to dans comment that We don't have the balls to confront anyone personally,that is just not so, there are a good many of us that wait each day to go face to face with anyone who wishes to do so, We attend meetings, we are active, and will continue to be so.
As far as dan f comment to kid dym-o-mite about showing a level of ignorance go's , that just shows me dans level of arrogant mind set. Wow! I am in college and I know better than anyone.
By the way, I coached for 7 years, big deal

Mamma, you write about me as if you know me. Although I assure you that you do not. Where do you get off? You have no idea of my level of committment to my program, or what my motivation is for coaching, (even though I pretty much spelled it out for you) and you are certainly in no position to judge me? It is easy talking shots at someone from a far isn't it MAMMA! That's the coward's way. You wrote "If I didn't know any better I might have even believed your spiel" What does that mean? Please enlighten me, do you really think you know me, do you really think you know my character? It's easy to make outlandish statements from behind some log in NAME, so let's hear what's really driving your comments. It's funny the shots that I've received on my character from people on this website, who truly know nothing about me, but I guess that's inevitable considering most of my audience. If your going to ride out in front on a white horse, I guess you need to be prepared to be shot at. I hear shaker and mad dog say we are not afraid to confront anyone. Together or what? (It's always you two guys chiming in back and forth looking for approval from each other, "He doesn't know me does he shaker" "Your so rite Maddog," is this a good ol' boys club or what, I mean it's like listening to Daryl and his other brother Daryl!) It's funny between the three of us I am the only one who left my real name, yet you to aren't afraid to confront anyone? You guys keep believing that. You see I don't know anyone on this website, I am not seeking approval from any of you. I merely stumbled onto a post about one of my players, and I wanted to set the record straight. And let you people know how silly it is to come on here and voice strong opinions under an assumed name.
Look at me I gave my name and it has obviously turned into a lightening-rod issue, however I am still here taking it like a MAN, which is more than I can say for most of you. DARE TO STAND ALONE, DARE TO BE A DANIEL! Good Night.

Shaker,you need to grow up. Do you have some sort of jealousy or personal issues towards Dan, because I sense some hostility towards him. Do you come on here to have discussions about topics or to try to bully people around because nobody's buying the tough guy routine so just drop it. As far as I can tell your the PUNK and need to get a life. As for JJ Walker, AKA kid dynomite you've got problems I can't even help with. You need to keep your fantasies to yourself and pull your head out of the gutter. You need a team of specialists to talk to and Im not talking about 1 shrink. Im talking a team of psychiatrists from somewhere Freud studied. Hey minnow you go girl! Mamma, do you wish you were from Glenville or whats with the hostility towards a town? Did someone from Glenville make you feel inadequate or insecure in some way? You need to let it go and grow up! Eric made some very good points and for that I have respect. I also have respect for what I have heard of Dan and his responses he seems to be a pretty stand up guy and I wish his team the best.
