I went to a 3A school and quit all sports other than basketball to focus on that sport in high school, mainly because I loved that sport the most. There were many other great athletes at my school (and schools in our league) who played multiple sports. Some even played soccer and football (oh the horror)!!! All this does is further prove Coach is the narcissist we all thought. The kid doesn't live for you, coach. It's his life. You, like every other high school coach in the country, should deal with injuries and personnel as they come. It just sounds to me like you didn't adjust well and need someone to blame it on. It's fine if you don't like soccer, but don't be a d-bag and have a lifetime full of hatred because a kid got hurt. But I'm sure you're convinced he hurt himself on purpose to prove a point, so I'm glad you're still mad 20 years later. **
