I never played Softball, fast-pitch or otherwise. In Football, Wrestling, and Golf, I was taught work ethic, being prepared, being humble, being honest, the work happens in the off season, and if Golf teaches you anything, it's humility. I dabbled in boxing as well. But it was less skilled and more me and my friends going to the gym and beating the hell out of each other. Not sure what our sports backgrounds have to do with anything, but you showed me yours, so there's mine.
I have also officiated from youth leagues to small college. I have had the opportunity to work with and see some of the best coaches and see them at their craft in real time. I've had the great experience to be around, and have friendships with some of the founding mothers of women's high school sports in this state. I still have some of them come talk to my kids because they have way more experience and can offer advice, insights, that I quite simply can't. As a coach I think it's important to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Then get people who are good at what you're not.
For the record, I never claimed you were dumb or a bad person. In fact I told a fellow poster just yesterday that "C77 is obviously educated". While I will admit to having a bit of fun with your grammar and punctuation. When you get on a forum and proclaim yourself to be the smartest person in the room, you kind of open yourself up to that sort of thing. You are absolutely right about one thing, I am a smartass, and I'm very good at it. I have no idea who you're talking to about me, but if they know me, I'm sure they've also told you I haven't said anything on this forum that I wouldn't have said face to face. I'm not a keyboard warrior.
Now back to the subject at hand, Floyd Central is off to a great start in TN, according to their Twitter feed, they're 4-0, and have beat some prett impressive teams. Only two games are listed on MaxPreps.
Every man lives by a code:
