Words of Wisdom
Words of Wisdom for Coaches, Referees, Parents and Players
Every so often, we come across some words of wisdom which we would like to share with our coaches and referees. Here are our first two entries, on coaching little ones from Ellen Lamm, Winthrop Harbor / Zion / Beach Park, Illinois and an extraordinary and wonderful story from Rob Kerby from the Central Ozarks Soccer League in Arkansas. And, now, two stories from women referees - the first from Virginia Staabs in Tehachapi, cogent reasons why you should be a referee. . . , the second from Ann Wright Pitts on her experiences moving from sideline to the center. Cartoonist Randy Glasbergen graciously allowed us to reproduce a witty take on the parent's dilemma. Finally, some words from Region 76's Commissioner, Cliff Bochner, about "encouraging" players.
