Dude, I'm trying - Wait, since I don't live in your state, we get out often, which is nice. Was just in your state last week, people were in fact everywhere, and with no shirts on. I didn't see any officially sanctioned shirtless training being conducted on any beach though. For the record, while on the beach/boat, shirts were optional for the fam, all chose to not wear shirts.
 
As with everything, it depends on your personal perception and whether or not you conform to what society asks of you or whether you live your own truth and life.

I’m gonna sidestep this thread now. Some of you have raised fair points and I respect them. Take it easy lads.

I know of a coach that would send text messages to his female 12 year old players at 5:30 am as he was heading to the gym. He was trying to motivate and inspire. Maybe it did - But i think it's extremely creepy for a 26 year old man to text 12 year old girls for any reason. (Not sure if he had a shirt on or not).

This opens up a really interesting conversation about what is and what isn’t acceptable communication practices between an adult and his players. My 13 year old daughter and her teammates (and the team manager mother of one of the girls) are on a group chat on an app that the coach uses to communicate directly with the players as a group. Motivational stuff, good job at the game today, weekly running challenge, bring both jerseys to practice tonight, that kind of stuff. He sought permission from the parents before setting it up and laid the ground rules of no one one texts and that the team manger would be copied on everything. We were fine with it, as were all of the other parents, but I can see how some people have different levels of comfort.

Age is key. Context is key too. I dont know this Coach and he seems open and honest. That's my read but i could be wrong. It sound like a turf war going on. Santa Monica is a beach town and everyone is walking around half naked. If it's one on one with a 17 or younger, not good. I'm not guessing that, but could be wrong. I would from now on have your shirt on with minors around. If he's doing an online zoom training sessions with multiple ages and everyone is there like this one ab one my dd works out to, then no problem from me.
