A baseball coach performs a number of roles at all levels of the game but his/her main role is to ensure that players have the right approach to learning the game by helping them to developing their physical and mental abilities to be a success at it.  I think is fair to say that a coach, whichever the sport, will always have challenges knocking at his door so he must be fully aware of his responsibilities as a mentor and ready to deal with those challenges to the best of his ability.  Indeed, a coach must always keep in mind that players welfare is paramount to their proficiency and expectations as competitors.
