Worst you've ever been chewed out by a coach.

[Direckshun]

Those of us who have played for coaches have likely, at some point in our lives, endured the miserable experience of having a coach melt down on you for a real (or imagined) grievance.

I was playing sweeper for my high school soccer team and swooped through an attacking play by slicing away with the ball. In doing so, however, a couple bodies fell as there as a conglomeration of players descending on the spot from which I had swooped. This was in the penalty box, and any penalty called on us in the box results in a penalty kick, which is not awesome in soccer.

I get subbed out in a minute and the coach tells me, as I walk to the bench, that I made a mistake that led to me having to swoop and potentially cost us a PK. Exhausted and not thinking straight, I said "I didn't touch anyone" with my arms out, as if to say "WTF are you talking about."

This apparently was a gross offense, as the coach slowly rose from his seat and dressed me down. This was in Joplin, who had a rinky dink soccer field, and everybody in a 10 mile radius could hear the guy dressing me down. All I could say was "yes sir" 18 times to stay in his good graces. I was subbed back in 5-10 minutes later.

That's probably the worst I got. Surely some of you guys can beat me. Let's go.

I played college football (small time, not a brag) where we had literally hundreds of kids show up for training camp and the coaches dressed everyone down. I, like you, laughed at the insults about my family (think they went all the way back to my great, great, great grandmother). It was hell, but man was it entertaining. I should have been an abortion, etc etc.

I probably watched 50 to 100 kids take their shit off and walk off the field, during practice. It was all to see who had the GAF to be there and who would go home. Such a good life lesson, great times.

My sophomore year in a new school, during practice, I banked in a driving, twisting, hook shot. The 'coach' screams: " if you do that again your azz is on the bench." Very intimidating for a kid in a new school and needless to say I shot very little after that. 10 minutes of play and 10 pts that year . That was it for my B team year on a team that won 2 games all year. It still upsets me just typing this. The last game that year I did another razel dazel shot that went in but it was at the end of the game. I smiled at him as I walked off the court. Guys like that should not coach.
