My daughter played for Ed Serdar and Joe Tholl and enjoyed playing for them. The thing she admired the most about Tholl was he was honest and straightforward with all the players. He didn't sugar coat mistakes. Once he mistake was over it was not brought up again.

The biggest mistake people make is they hear the volume with Tholl. They do not take the time to listen closely to the message.

By the time my daughter started playing in college there was nothing that happened on the field, in the dugout and during team interactions that could shake her. She'd been thru it all prior to college after playing for Serdar and Tholl.

Most kids can understand, adapt and learn. The criticisms come from the parents outside the team.
