But maybe this coach was trying to give them a taste of what fame was like, he was being over zealous in his efforts.. But maybe he was just trying to show them what can come if you are truly great, if they had actually made it to the world series with pure hearts. It is the little leagues, so maybe he was just trying to inspire his kids to keep going with the sport. The Little League World Series IS a big thing that is nationally televised that I'm sure ALLLLL the scouts are watching. If his players get tv time, and are seen by scouts, and those players ultimately become great pro players, didn't in some twisted way the coach help them? Even if it was ethically wrong? <br /><br />I'm not saying what he did was right and I certainly would never condone such an action. But maybe his intentions weren't entirely self-centered or detrimental to the children's long term career.Erica Canohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003066280704959104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716203536139300387.post-39806654343587949632009-08-21T16:34:58.588-07:002009-08-21T16:34:58.588-07:00Being coached to lose....
