You still put forth the effort to help keep it rolling. That says a lot. I spent 17 years coaching various levels of youth sports completely understand how it feels when things don't go as planned and willingly admit there are times I wanted to 'check out' but that is not a luxury a coach should have, especially in a short time span of a routine. As coaches it is our responsiblity to set the standard of how we expect the kids in our charge to act. Even when things aren't going right you try setting the standard and being the motivator even when dying inside.I dont "check out" but I sure in the heck don't jump up and down when they don't hit. I will still clap and request energy from the kids but don't be too quick to judge the coach. We are all passionate and sometimes when the team fails it takes a little bit away from that coaches heart, or at least I know that is how I would feel.
