What is it about coaching that attracts so many jerks? It’s pretty much all of them.
I will give you that answer. Today’s fathers were/are jockeys sniffers. Their dream as a kid was to play pro ball. They failed So they push their kids 24/7 with travel ball, etc to live vicariously through their children. I’ve seen it a thousand times. Add onto that that humans are naturally jerks and ta da.
You can throw many parents into the mix as well.
A good friend umpires girls high school fast pitch games and he says they have such a shortage of umpires here in Michigan, they're now paying them $100 per game in order to attract more into the ranks.
