Thank you to all our coaches for their continued dedication to the players!
FROMTHESIDELINES:
You will see the majority of EPSC Coaches sit in a chair during games, remaining calm, and giving encouragement/instruction at the right times. Compare that to the coach screaming and shouting, moving up and down the sideline, and telling players exactly what to do. Which one do you think is more effective?"
