T have just finished working at the Ohio High School State and the deplorable action of many of the coaches there created an urgent need to call attention to an in- creasingly more noticeable problem. As a coach in another sport I am well aware of the

' intensity with which these

young men compete. They have

peak. As the saying goes they fnaw the thrill of victory and ‘the agony of defeat, Surely no “one can believe a young man would advance this far then fail to give his best, And yet far too many coaches exhibited the

won he was greeted with open

' arms, helped on with his warm-

up equipment, and walked off

following action was more

likely - a disgusted look and

shake of the head, a jacket tosged at the wrestler, and a rapidly departing coach. These same actions can be translated into meaningful terms. for other’ sports. Too many coaches (not all, ob- viously). are on their own ego trip, willing to bask in the glow. of borrowed victory but rejecting any asso ciation with

And after all, without losers there would be no winners. Winning is desirable, but defeat must become acceptable. If not, many young people will drop out rather than face its humiliation ~ it’s not‘worth it to them. And they are right. .

We -- and I mean coaches in particular -- must work to in sure that participation in athletics remains a highly
