Makes up for a lot of the crap we have to put up with.  Thanks for sharing!

That is why I make an effort to speak to players when I see something done on the field that is good sportsmanship.  Yes, we have players that do think of others and get the concept of teamwork.

Here the players are not used to getting anything except grief.
Occasionally when I will complement a player on pulling up smartly, or helping an opponent up, or retrieving a ball for me, I will get a scowl and 'I didn't do anything'. When I repeat the complement, they sort of get wide eyes and try to figure out if I'm making fun of them or not...

James, you have to do more C-youth league (10-13 year olds in Germany ....). There you will find players which are not completly spoiled  ;)

They even respect us and believe everything we say ....

I would try to talk to them more throughout the game.  I am very vocal with both the interior linemen and the LBers.  If you treat them like adults with respect they react really well.  Be careful to not be too friendly because you may have to flag them for something.  But be respectful.
