Delaney: The difference between boys and girls

Oneida softball coach Mike Curro said something very interesting to me the other day. I was talking to Curro for a short feature story on him that will be in Thursday's paper. Curro is a passionate, hyper-competitive coach who oozes intensity, though he's worked hard to tone it down over his 10 seasons with the Indians varsity.

Curro comes from a baseball background. He played at HCCC and at Cortland State.

Curro said of the difference between coaching boys and girls: "Boys have to play well to feel well. Girls have to feel well to play well."

Great insight. I often wondered about the differences between coaching boys and girls. Shows there is more to the intense Curro than wins and losses.
