Telecoaching Pillows

"I like the telecoaching. Only trouble is it gives me a stiff neck!"

"Just another 50 decibels on your grunt and we can start to think about letting you hit a few balls!"

Coach to football players: 'And no cuddling!'

'Wow, the field really is a frozen tundra!'

"There will be a winning team and a losing team. Are you OK with that?"

Old navy veteran 3rd base coach

'They were hoping to gradually introduce him to the pro game, but injuries left them no choice.'

"All I can say is thank goodness for teleconferencing."

"I AM at my usual position."

'Will you lot come out! - the new kit's not that bad!'

'I don't understand why you always put me in goal?!'

'OK, everybody, calm down,,,'

Feedback should be sought for genuine reasons, not because you want compliments. . .

'We need you to get onto those high balls coming over'

'Yes, Jenny, I know I'm always reminding the team to be good sports, but you really don't have to thank the ref after every call.'

Bobby's pitching coach told him to put some stank on the ball.

"Good news...I found a doctor who says you can still play!"

"To be clear, I said I want your 'A' game, not your 'Eh?' game."

'Wait!... I don't want to take Brady out right now. He's just getting into rhythm.'

"He's got great velocity but his trajectory needs work."

"Winning isn't everything, Josh. Not being the reason your team loses is everything."

'Let's go over our secret play.'

"Teleconferencing makes it just like they're in the room with us - things are unclear and difficult to understand."

"Excuse me a moment, whilst I just change hats."

'I know what you're thinking, are those legal shoes.'

'Son, I want you to get out there and play like I've never played before.'

I like what I'm seein' out there. This could be our year Wikowski.

'OK, now let's switch places.'

The game is tied, and this is the final inning because the sun is setting. I understand, coach, I need to get home before dark!

'Let's go! Let's go! Hustle! ...Relatively speaking.'

"This round, forget the finesse. Hit him."

"Gracie, I'm proud of you. Your team lost, but you tried your best and that's all that counts."

'Three kids, full-time job, night classes and coaches a girls basketball team. She's stretched a little thin.'
