A USSDA club has had a lawsuit brought against them for, "unlawful bullying and mental and psychological abuse of players" by coaches employed by the club. I understand they are citing Dr. Jennifer Fraser's work “Brain Scars – The Neuroscience of Coach Bullying and its Impact on the Adolescent Brain" as evidence that the coaches have done irreparable neurological damage to the players.

Who determines when a coach goes too far? When is a coach "too tough" and when does aggressive coaching cross the line from motivating to destructive? And does it differ by kid? How is a coach to know where that line is to try and get the most out of their players?
