    TYPES OF COACHES - WHAT TYPE ARE YOU? Feel free to add your own... Very entertaining...

    The Vince Lombardi – hard, but fair

    The Builder – those that build up their players (really great at young ages)

    The Technocrat – those that get so caught up in numbers and stats, but don't really know the "human" side of the game

    The Old Baseball player – he thinks softball is "Baseball for girls." Easy to find because he tend to throw BP over-handed.

    The Screamer – usually a female coach (sorry ladies). An ex-player from 20 years ago who feels the only way to get anything done is to yell at her players.

    The Close Talker – this coach gets in the face of his/her players and tells them secret plans of domination before they goes up to bat, then blushes when she strikes out.

    The Foot Stomper – He will split the earth with his gigantic foot stomp when that “idiot blue” makes a bad call....again.

    The Napoleon – a coach that screams at his players during the game in blame and disgust, to compensate for his own lack of game knowledge.

    The Dreamboat – this is the coach that the players think is cute so they will win for him every time, even if they have only been of average talent in the past.

    The Stylist – Doesn't really know the game, but will have the best 10 sets of uniforms and gear for each participant and a really great website.

    The Quiet Man – he stands at 3rd base with his arms crossed, nodding his head in contemplation during at bats and only coach’s because nobody else would take the team.

    The Lurker – the guy that hangs out at league games looking for talent.

    Great list. I think my DD has had every one of these guys (and gals) at one time or another! :)

    I think they forgot the Alfred E. Neuman type. I'd probably fit there better.

    I'd really like to see a "Types of Players" chart now.

    Or maybe a "Types of Parents". That should be a dilly!!!

    One champion NC HS coach refers to his opinionated parents as "the committee." I'll use that for sure!
