Wow are u listening to yourself. FEAR really, your out of your mind so it's healthy in yourmind for an 8/9 to fear his coach and be so upset and nervous that he has to go to the bathroom 2 or 3 times before practice or a game. How about positive reinforcement at this age and coaching/ talking to the kid before you threaten him. I guess you have been threatened by the coaches to and are scared to stick up for your son. That's crap dude and you know it.
