Thinking Question #3

In the book, alot of harsh practices and words from the coach is taking toll. Then a lot of players run away from the camp at night without letting the coach know that they are quitting. Would you stand up to the coach and quit? Or would you run away like some of the players? and Why?

If we were in that position we all agree that it would be best to stand up to the coach. It would be the most respectful thing to do.
We also think that if the players teamed up and ran away, it would also have a big impact. It would make the coach realize everything that he did, and that he was pushing them over the limit.
