You can be harsh on your players and still coach, but it is easier when you are kind to them.
John Kessel
I am here to give my players the little push they need, just like they needed long ago, when first learning the art of the swing. All you needed then was a little push, and quickly you were pumping away, flying higher and higher, without any more help from the 'coach.'
John Kessel
