What's this?

If it works, it works - peer pressure is tough


My son was in this situation in rec football, and i'm fine with it to an extent. When it became obvious that some kids just didn't care if their peers suffered, I would have stopped it.

My wife is a swim coach, and she gives no quarter. She doesn't punish the whole team, but she will have kids who are late do pushups or swim a 200 fly as punishment. She had a lot of latecomers the first week this Summer, but it ceased pretty quickly.
