Did You Separate Your Kids Being A Parent, Being A Dad And Being A Coach?  How Did You Do That?

Here are some of the topics to be discussed:

  • Give us a little bit about your background on the coaching side, what you did with your boys, when you started coaching, and then when you let go...
  • Did you separate your kids being a parent, being a dad and being a coach? How did you do that?
  • How to find the balance of not coddling your kid on the team, and not ripping them apart...
  • How to not be the micromanaging or hover coach/dad...
  • Advice on how to treat your kid after an awful game (e.g., 0-6 with 5 K’s in the box)
  • Advice to overly organized coaches, checking all the “boxes”, but team still isn’t winning,
  • Any advice that you think that we missed on the call for maybe new coaches out there starting or maybe some of those veteran ones?
