Coach Clap,

First off, congratulations. Your kids played their hearts out, left everything they had on the field, and should feel good about that. The same goes for the coaches.

I'm guessing that you didn't ride the kids when a mistake was made; don't ride yourself either. Besides, I'm guessing that you're being too hard on yourself.

Your players will look to you for the "correct" way to respond. Tell them you're proud of them and that you wouldn't change a thing they did.

Finally, thank the parents for allowing you the privilege of coaching their kids. Parents eat that up, and I bet you feel that way as well. I always do at the end of a season. It is amazing the attachments we can develop toward our players.

Keep your head high; you've allowed a group of young men to experience things that will be positive memories for them when they're our age, and hopefully they will do the same for their kids.

All just my opinion; good for you for putting your heart into making the lives of some kids more enjoyable.
