Whoa there, Daddy-O! You accuse the good Senator from Vermont of making
a generalization & then you go & make one yourself!
Can you site any studies that show that hard, aggressive, no-nonsense
coaching of young children actually produces the effects you describe?
And for *every* child?
Are you saying hard work, dedication, & teamwork *cannot* be taught using
a more relaxed, yet still intensive, coaching style?
Or could this be a case of, "*I* got yelled at by *my* coaches so these
little buggers should get yelled at by *theirs?*" What's good enough for
me....., etc., etc.
