Default Cressey Article

Eric Cressey posted an article on T-nation about the things he learned in 2008. One of his points about dads of youth is so true.

12. Dads are interesting.
If you train young athletes, you'll see an amazing phenomenon. The fathers of the legitimate stud athletes are usually very humble and easygoing; you can talk to them all day and really enjoy their company. For every one of these guys you'll meet, though, you'll encounter ten fathers who talk your ear off about how great their sons are, how their kids are the next NFL or MLB superstars, and how they've carried their teams. Interestingly, in 50% of these cases, their kids aren't even playing because "the coach has something against him." Riiiiight.

At the very least, spammers should be required to set up their own threads....
