BUT if you think you are going to call my teenage daughter stupid or other belittling, degrading names you are going to deal with me. Now am I going to file a law suit, not likely, but when I am done talking to the coach I'm betting he doesn't call my daughter belittling, degrading names anymore.
Girls in our great country have huge self-imaging issues,major depression issues, eating disorders are rampant (espically in athletes), 3 out of 5 girls are sexually assaulted before age 18. Then some ROLE MODEL/Leader of my daughter is gonna bully her by calling her names-not today,not this week and not this season.

And that my friends is a promise.

AMEN!
I coach my daughter in the summer. I can't think of any reason to bully/belittle any of my girls. extremely counter-productive. Firm but fair is my goal. I have seen other coaches who use profanity in front of their girls. throw stuff etc, etc. Nice role models.
My daughter would never be allowed to play for such a coach, regardless of the level. The almighty "W" isn't worth it.
