Anyone who has ever coached youth sports for any amount of time knows that for every uncoordinated and awkward youth there is an equally embarrassed mom who needs comforting. Mom sees a coach who doesn’t get down on the poor un-athletic child but instead shows overwhelming support and patience and she gets a little partial to ol’ coach.
It works. I’m not a pretty man by any stretch of the imagination but coach Wal has been laid many times due to his compassion for the less than talented athletes around my area.
