100 Words: Against

100-word-challenge.jpg

This is my first 100 Word Challenge. The word is "Against". I'm sort of killing two birds with one stone by giving you a glimpse into the softball drama that left me MIA online the previous couple of weeks. Here it goes (start counting...NOW):

The way you treated them goes against everything I believe in as a coach. They learn more by what we do than what we say. They are only rebelling against current authority because they are not being led by proper example. They are just kids.

I cannot sit by and participate in something that goes against my life philosophy so strongly that my body has reacted with it’s first panic attack. I love this school. I love being a coach. I love those girls. I never envisioned walking away, but against my prior plans, I feel I have no choice.

Hey! Welcome aboard! My favorite thing about this challenge is seeing all the different ways the word prompt is interpreted. It's really fun for me1

I've never coached, but I've been on the parent end, and it's really hard for all the adults involved to maintain a unified vision about what the game is about. Good for you for standing your ground.

Great piece - and I hope it was cathartic. Nasty situation, at best.
