This reminds me of my one and only foray into the coaching ranks. My older daughter was about 8, and I agreed to help out with softball. First practice and a little girl came over complaining that she couldn’t get a batting helmet to fit. I told her that was because her hair was “too big.” By the time I got home her mother was on the phone reaming me, as the kid went home and started crying because “Coach said I had to cut my hair.” I decided I was not cut out to coach girls.

We have been broadcasting all of our school's games for 3 years now on Youtube and Facebook. What we have found is that we are drawing in more casual fans and other people in our community who wouldn't normally go attend games in person. This includes teachers, elderly people, and those with large families of small children. Our ticketed attendance has been relatively unchanged (excluding this year). The only time that we have seen poor attendance due to a livestream is when the football team is playing in terrible weather. Instead of charging people to watch, we just asked for donations. That way people could donate if they wanted, but didn't feel obligated. They also didn't have to get a credit card out for every game, just to pay $10 to watch a 50-0 blowout. This also ensured that 100% of the proceeds went back into the athletic department, rather than 50% that most PPV platforms do.

Neither caps nor visors are a requirement in sotfball or baseball.

YOU GUYS ARE STEALING MY THUNDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call their cheerleaders the Ice Princesses...

Tommy!!! Laying some history on us!!!!

The sun goes down, the lights come on and for several hours you can be lost in the ambiance of a High School game.

Is this petty slow time discussion? Uh, what does this do to the school as far as their performance in any of the sports? Explain.

We have great positiin coaches from programs all over the state of Indiana. Guys who have played at Purdue, UIndy, Marian, St. Francis, etc. We are not providing instruction. Our coaches are facilitating drills which will allow the athletes to move and compete for the college coaches that are on the field in attendance. There are opportunities for critique, but that is not the purpose of the event. It is about getting reps. It is a showcase, not a camp. If your kids do not need to attend events like this, that is great. Fantastic for them. Thanks again for not caring so much that you have helped to keep this advertisement at the top of the list.

Mr. BigBH, Our December showcase was attended by the following schools. UIndy Marian St. Francis Olivet Nazerene Lawerence Tech North Central College Olivet (Michigan) Trine Anderson Depauw Franklin Hanover Manchester North Park University At previous showcases we have also had these other schools attend Mount Union Mt. St. Joseph Kentucky Christian Indiana Wesleyan Kentucky Wesleyan Lindsey Wilson Millikan Hocking College Union College, KY Our May event is going to be smaller than the showcase that was held in December. More like 100 players rather than 300. If there is a nearly equal or even potentially larger turnout of colleges that are in attendance, that means much more opportunity to be seen. I have no problem if you do not like the showcase system. It might not be for you. But it does work for some kids and all we are doing, as I have said before, is providing an opportunity. Not one athlete has ever been forced to attend. I will post the names of the schools that I have gotten confirmation from for the INDY spring showcase on May 1st. By the way, My name is Eric Schnur. I put it in my tag so that people know who I am. My record is 9-43, but for me it is just a reminder that things don't always turn out the way you intended. It is motivation to be better today and in the future. It does not define me, my last name does. I took a job that NO ONE else wanted, and I did it at a time when I was not fully prepared for what came along with it. I poured my heart into that job, and resigned when I felt I was out of potntial answers for the questons that were popping up. You said you, don't give a damn about me," but you are the one that looked me up. When I say college coaches are on sight, I mean that. We have never hosted a showcase that did not have at least ten. We have had as many as 21 at a single event. You should talk to some college coaches about who they recruit and when they start looking at them. I think that you might find your perception to be a bit off. Thank you, Coach Schnur
