Amber Branson just might be the most dedicated coach to her team, and guess what she’s a woman. Less than twenty four hours after giving birth Coach Branson was back coaching her high school girls basketball team to victory. Instead of taking time off, like most women need after giving birth, she returned to the bench and lead her team, the Indians, to a come from behind victory to send them to the state semifinals for the first time in eight years. Personally, I think this takes a lot of commitment and dedication on her part. She is there for the team when they need her the most and is helping to lead them towards a state title. Reading through some of the comments on the bottom of the articles many people view her actions in a negative way. Some call her a “control freak” for not entrusting her assistant coaches, others say she’s abandoning her child, she is not focused on her family, and she’s an “idiot” for leaving her child so quickly. I think that these people are vastly over reacting. It’s not like she completely abandoned her child and left her out in the cold. I wonder if these people would react the same way if a male coach was back to coach his team toward a state championship after his wife gave birth.
