If the theoretical, anecdotal and experience arguments don't sway you away from over-coaching during games, let's look at it from a logical standpoint. Scaling back your desire or need to over-coach from the touchline is no easy task, but it's something you need to aspire to.

If you aren't buying those arguments, let me attack it from another angle.
