Soccer coach cleverly complies with opposing team's demands, resulting in his team playing the entire season on the better field

Communication is the secret to success. Communication is the key to finding solutions for many issues. The story that follows shows how effective communication can, in certain situations, result in an early issue diagnosis.

Below is the account of a pleased youth soccer team coach. OP recalls participating in the municipal recreation league a few years back. There were two fields accessible at the time: one was a large, well-kept, very distant field with enough seating for parents watching their kids, and the other was a dusty, neglected field that could have used some upgrades.

The story begins as OP's team, the Brown Pandas, arrive for their first practice of the season to discover that their designated field has been taken over by another team. The team's arrogant coach, who is obviously oblivious to what he is getting into, rejects OP's attempt to clarify the obvious disparity and sends them straight to the other field. But rather than argue, OP cleverly obeys the coach's instructions and makes the trip to the other, renovated field, with his teammates. A few weeks later, the arrogant coach recognizes his mistake and races back to 'his' field. At the entry, though, he encounters opposition and is told to return to the field he had previously claimed.

That being said, scroll down to read the story and see what ultimately happened to OP and the entitled coach, as well as whether or not OP gave up on the stunning, just rebuilt, enormous field!
