St. Croix Central @ Superior
Sept. 21, 2024

Nearing the end of a closely contested game, I made two decisions on the field which could easily have caused angst for the St. Croix Central bench. The St. Croix Central head coach, Jacob Langer, supported sportsmanship in the game by strongly keeping his bench settled in a way that also settled the fans. This went a long way to getting both teams to complete the game in a sporting manner. After the game Coach Langer and I also discussed my decisions in a respectful way. He expressed how the restart was confusing from his point of view. This polite interchange led me to consider how I might better have communicated what was happening.
