It was merely an observation on my part that your username had changed from BOXCAR to boxcar710. If you were the original poster (BOXCAR) why did you not make your most recent post under the original username?
That makes me think that you are not the same person - that's all.
As for the 'absolute nonsense' I post on this forum, that is a matter of opinion and you are entitled to yours. At least I have the courage in my convictions to post my name and my club.
I have no doubt that you - and hundreds like you - put in the hours at your respective clubs. What I do doubt is that you cannot - or will not - accept the fact that a coaches federation is not about being paid. If you are indeed a coach (and before you start, you have made reference only to the hours of fundraising, cleaning etc. you do and not to any coaching), read the back of your coaches card and take in what it says.
Yes, I did state that it would be nice to be paid. Are you honestly saying that it would not like to be paid for something you obviously love doing? I am not asking for a wage or payment for what I do - unlike many other leeches within the sport - and I don't expect I will ever be paid for being a coach in an amateur club. But that is not the issue here. The real issue is that, for some reason, the fact that a group of like-minded coaches want to get together and develop their skills is causing real consternation amongst certain people on this forum and within the sport in genral.
I have nothing to hide - or protect - it is apparent that some do! |
