i wanted to brag that i loved when that came around, and i kicked ass in all this. the only tough one was climbing the rope. but once i learned how to do that, i beat everyone. BUT.... what you are saying your experience is, is so ugly.... now i do not feel comfortable bragging about how i loved doing the presidential fitness test.

in all my time in sports, i never experienced a coach that had that attitude. i have seen jerk coaches. i was lucky to have very high character coaches. but, that was nasty. you have both gender coaches that feel humiliation and demeaning the person will push them. son and i have talked about that. he has one for track. it does the opposite with most kids.
