Some people say that those who coach softball are crazy. Because when you look at it at first, the negative things far outweigh the benefits of becoming a softball coach.

For one, you have to deal with parents who like to meddle, especially in the younger age groups. Most parents think that their kid is good enough to become the team’s star player. And they also have tons of advice on how you can coach the team better (and hinting their kid is a part of the ingredient).

Then, there are egos you have to deal with. When your players get a little bit older, their parents no longer come into the picture, but then, their egos start coming in the way. Big egos caus rifts in teams, and if you don’t know how to handle them, then, you team’s doomed.

And finally, there’s the lack of funds. Most coaches work with teams that don’t have big sponsors. And since their team lacks the financial support, they take it from their own pockets. They spend their own money to buy their team’s uniform, their gear, and sometimes even their travel money.
