I agree with the many comments made on this topic however, yes, the dragon wins from time to time but thats a simple loss of a match before many to come.... my father always told me to finish something you've started, something you've committed to - It's hard to believe that accepting someone's resignation is ok! how's that prepare that person for life after athletics? There comes a point in everyone's life where you can't quit, you should prepare yourself - before you have a family depending on you. Those should stick with it due soley to complete what they've started - who know's, they could make a turn, but at a minimum, learn it's not alright to quit! Stick with the one's that want to be there - works good till you allow that one person to quit and later find out he's a druggy and is wasting his life! As coaches we have influence, we should utilize it.
