[36:43-36:55]
Speaker discusses the values that rugby instills in players and the need for parental trust in coaches.
And some of those parents don't get it either. And I think that's one thing that, uh, as a parent of rugby players, especially, uh, high school rugby players, uh, you have to back, you sit back and honestly, you have to trust your, your coaches.
[36:55-37:31]
Speaker reflects on coaching challenges while emphasizing the importance of supporting coaches regardless of their mistakes.
Although my, our coaches on this past season, they kind of screwed up. And, but, and I kept it to myself because I'm that parent. I don't just yell at the coaches and say, you should have done better. You did, you did something wrong. I kept it to myself. And I didn't tell my boys, you support your coaches no matter what. And my boys did understand that the coaches didn't trust the boys. This past season, they didn't trust the boys enough that they would make the right decisions. But the boys did listen, and they trusted the coaches, but the coaches didn't trust them. That's what ended up happening.
