dave poppy makes me mad.
and thats all i have to say.
[edito!]
so why does dave poppy make me mad? he participates in the politics of high school sports. let me begin by explaining my softball background. i have played on select club teams since fourth grade. i have gone to nationals every year. i am currently playing on one of the best teams in the state. i am on college watch lists. in short, i deserve to start varsity. but i dont. the girl who catches is a senior and while she is pretty good, she just isnt great. but our wonderful varsity pitcher will only pitch to her. no joke. when i have to catch for her she refuses to pitch anything i call. but dave is okay with this. he lets his varsity pitcher dictate everything the team does. why? her family owns the isp. if she doesnt get what she wants, we dont get isp for free. so dave goes along with whatever she says.
dave poppy is also intimidated by freshmen parents. a very powerful parent in the softball community told him that if he didnt put his daughter and her friend on varsity, they would leave the program forever. these are two rather good athletes, but not yet at the varsity level, so losing them would be pretty bad. long story short, one of the freshman, who is also a catcher, gets more varsity time than me. i am better than her. i know i sound ridiculously egotistical but its true. i get stuck on jv and occasionally go to a varsity game to sit the bench and be there in case like 4 people get hurt. reasonable? i think not.
nearly any high school athlete can tell you that theyve experienced something like this. i really dont understand what makes coaches do what they do. athletics at the varsity level are based not just on skill but attitude. if people like myself keep getting held back, our attitudes wont be very swell.
so, dave poppy, please stop buying into high school sport politics. as horrible a person as you are, please try to find it in you to understand that i want to know where i stand. you tell me i have the best blocking and arm strength out of all the catchers but i still play jv. i love the jv girls, we actually have fun, but i deserve better. but dave, maybe being with you wouldnt be better after all.
and thats all i have to say.

Poor guy broke his leg, and you'll think he's an amazing coach after being subjected to arentowicz halfway through the season, he goes through cliches at astronomical speeds.
