This is a wonderful idea.

Yep. This is the same in our association as well. Every kid gets to bat and bowl. Can’t go wrong.

@BurgoShark not sure if you're much of a basketball guy but the problems getting so bad in the US the Pros are starting to speak out on it.

My 17yo has coaches under 9’s for her netball club, has been pretty stress free last couple seasons. This season first game all kids are all unco and learning which is still fun cause they’re all so little my daughter is handing out the bibs to the kids, parent walks up infront of other parents and players up tells her she is making a really big mistake as her daughter is a fantastic shooter and will be wasted anywhere else. I asked my daughter what her reply was she said “ I starred straight back at her asked her again what did she say” , the women repeated herself so my daughter said she turned her back on her and went about address the kids with 30 seconds to go before game started.”
Don’t want to be to judgy but this kid starts every sat pre game warm up by throwing down couple fried dim sims at 8.30am and is yet to finish playing 3 whole quarters because she is to tired or has a stitch.
Dumb parents ain’t a football cricket soccer basketball thing it’s everywhere netball gymnastics Dancing

FMD, speechless. At that age, as I do with soccer, you give them all a go in every position.

I'd have to bite my lip in that situation for sure.

Parra have released a doco on Shaun Lane, injuries and mental health.

It feels like accountability is being bred out of society.

On a lighter note, damn I hope you boys feel good after that. Tied for first place baby!

I remember this one race swimming at age groups and one parent was going up and down lane 1 screaming her head off to her son who was swimming backstroke.

At some point, the kid stopped in the middle of the pool, turned to her mum and said "Why don't you just jump in and swim and I'll shout by the pool?", and he continued swimming. Of course everyone was laughing, mum never did that ever again.

Are you back on speaking terms?

Oh, I was older, but still a teenager, just watching the kids swim, waiting for my race. So, I did not know the parent.

Tomorrow is the day. If I show my head around here within 90 days, I would appreciate a swift ban.

Not sure what my phone access will be like, but I’m assuming none, besides supervised phone calls… it’s not a concern.

I do feel like I have this huge burden of turning everything I’ve been saying for weeks/months into a reality though.

I’m not sure if it’s fear, or not having enough faith in myself, but I think it’s going to be a focus point of mine. I’m going to make it work for me.

Sharkies 2/2 baby.

Life’s good

See ya’ll on the other side

 

[bort]

Best of luck with it it Tatus!

We'll see the better you before the season is even through!

 

[Thresher]

All the best Tatus

 

[Sir Chadley]

Best wishes @Tatus

You may not realise it, but what you doing takes a lot of courage. I hope it all goes well for you mate.

 

[Proud Shark]

Good luck Tatus. Sharks 15/15 when we see you next.

Mate , Keep your focus on the end game . Sure there will be tough patches but the long term gain will be worth some short term pain . Take care .

 

[Western Sharkie]

All the best mate.

Hopefully we will be close to 14 from 14 (or there abouts).

 

[HaroldBishop]

All the best @Tatus . My prediction, the Sharks and Tatus both undefeated after 90 days. **** it, I'll even let you start the GF thread this year!

 

[vicsharkfan]

Best of luck brother.

Better not show your ugly mug before getting the job done.
Take care, mate. All the best.
