Shit that annoys you

[mcski]

At 12, if there had been no such thing as profanity I would've been mute.

Agreed. Mandatory viewings of the original Bad News Bears and Coach Buttermaker should be mandatory viewing. When I was 9, that was the holy grail for everyone on my little league team. And we had all had fbombs in our vocab long before that

Yah.

Hasn't affected you at all.

Some jackass was whining about that little Kai kid cursing during one of his segments the other day on the book of Feces.

Because kids never swear at age 12? It's hockey, I'm sure they've said far worse shit in the locker room.

I shouldn't have dropped the F bomb, although it was called for imo, but the fact that some 12 yr old kid's feelings were hurt is beyond me.

I'll never understand sheltering kids. I've treated mine like adults more or less since they were born and my kids are amazing at 6 and 12.

Everyone always comments on how socially well adjusted and awesome they are

That kid will grow up to be the guy who whines to HR when his feelings are hurt

USPS. Ordered from amazon needing it for the weekend. They wouldn’t deliver it ‘cause” we didn’t want to leave it unattended.” Fucks sake, they have before and the ups guy left a package at my door that was visible to the lazy usps fuck.

i try not to swear in front of my kid and i definitely do not swear in front of other peoples' kids. no way i will tolerate it from him around me. i certainly don't want coaches or parents of a sports team swearing or yelling at each other or at others in front of my kid. it has nothing to do with sheltering him. it's about maintaining respect, basic manners, sportsmanship, interpersonal relations, proper conflict resolution.

if he learns as a fundamental format to speak like an intelligent, reasonably educated and civil human being as a child i could not care less what you call it.

For the record, I don't yell at the kids.

I was calm and collected and swore on purpose to send the message that I was dead serious.

I coach to teach kids how to overcome adversity. Hockey is a very difficult sport to be successful at, as a team or individual. It carries over to life outside of hockey.

I know a guy that's a Sr sales VP that tries to hire as many ex hockey players as possible because they can handle the pressure and work their balls off

I can guarantee that kid that was offended doesn't make it pastt his freshman year of hs before he quits. He doesn't stand a chance. If you don't have thick skin in life yer fucked.

Every snowflake I know is just constantly battling issues that aren't even issues to everyone else

i hadn't even read your original post. i was responding generally to some of the other comments. i don't see any correlation between swearing and thick-skin or success.

No, no, no, no, no.


Booner likes thiccc skin. He yells fuck at them all the time.

Actually, now that I know booner's a hockey player/coach his fat chick fetish makes sense given the physical state of your average puck fuck.

I'm sure booner calmly gathered all the children to within 5 feet of him and said "fuck" at them in a conversational tone and volume, instead of screaming it at them as they skated around.

Beause that's what peewee hockey coaches are known for...their calm conversational demeanor when they're swearing at children.

Called for, typo...still doesn’t change my POV and for what it’s worth I’m more educated than 98% of America, just a fat finger.

There’s a difference between treating people properly (which I agree with your perspective) but there’s also being able to handle adversity and dealing with a challenging coach, teacher or boss. 12 is just a grade or two away from H.S. Depending on when he is born and then the flood gates open. Treating people like one should be fundamental but having thick skin is a good tool in life.

That's actually exactly what I did cpt sarcasm

I had every type of coach you could imagine from age 5 to 26. I remember every one of them.

The guys that were super PC nice guys all seemed fine at the time. When I was old enough to figure it out I realized those guys were worthless as coaches. They just let us run wild with no discipline or accountability.

The best coaches I ever had treated us like adults and held us accountable. That's how I coach because I know that's what actually works in the end.

Obviously I coach 6 yr olds different than 12 yr olds but I still make the little ones pay attention at least, unlike the majority of the other coaches.

It blows me away how many guys are just babysitters out there and don't coach at all. They just let the kids do whatever the fuck they want and have zero respect from the kids, all while teaching them nothing at the same time.

About 90% of the coaches are worthless. Basically snowflakes making more snowflakes.

And don't try to twist that into the good coaches being psychos that are screaming at the kids...it's nothing like that

[reckless toboggan]

So, in your mind, holding adults accountable means swearing at them...because you can't figure out how to actually communicate effectively or motivate people with out it.

Wow.

You're lost bud

You should work in mass media. Pretty good at taking things way out of context and twisting them into something else

[babybear]

meh a little swearing here and there is part of life
being well spoken & not emotional is important to my profession- but I've found a well placed curse here and there works wonders to get your point across

[reckless toboggan]

Sure. But swearing at other people's children is unnecessary. Hold them accountable. Sure. But you can do that without swearing at other people's children.

[BC.]

Not to be a dbag.....different strokes for different folks.

But, I’ve been coaching HS soccer and baseball for 25 years. I’ve used “strong” language to get my point across to HS athletes, but if I actually swore at the kids, I would assume I would be fired.

Sorry, I love to swear...but not at my job/at kids.

[wyeaster]

it's not the coach's job to parent. it's the parents' responsibility to put kids on the field who are capable of following basic instruction. if my kid is not behaving appropriately, i will take him off the field before the coach has a chance. i definitely do not sign my kid up to listen to his coach swear to cope with adversity or inspire kids to perform.

[babybear]

listen swearing at a 6 or 7 yo is way different than dropping one on 12-13 yo team
booners a solid maggot. he comes across as self aware and doing a lot. How many of you are coaching kids multiple nights a wk on top of regular work?
blowing up is not cool but a well placed WTF is not the end of the world and my guess is that he probably doesn't do it again bc it was more trouble than it was worth
but better overall that he is out there coaching/ mentoring/ learning than not

[reckless toboggan]

I was coached as a kid, I coached multiple nights a week for years. Didn't need to swear at the children I was coaching.

[babybear]

sure but if it happens once the coach should be done?
good coaches that fuck up in minor ways will not be easily replaced
we're all hooman

Exactly.....people like Booner volunteering his time and effort makes kids lives better....just know though, if you swear at kids, there might be some back lash from parents who aren’t in to that kind of thing.....lol

Have fun...coaching is very rewarding. Spending time coaching your kids will be time they will never forget.....

Now get out there and kick some fucking ass! [emoji869]
