How should parents deal with coaches who play other players?
While it may be tempting for parents to point out to the coach how their child is better than another individual who is playing more, that’s probably not the best approach. Parents should view the coach as an ally, and immediately accusing the coach of wrongly playing another individual over their own will only put the coach on the defense.
How do I deal with my child’s coach?
Parents should view the coach as an ally, and immediately accusing the coach of wrongly playing another individual over their own will only put the coach on the defense. Again, parents should ask about how their child can improve, and what things their child needs to do in order to gain more playing time. Say thank you.
How do you confront a coach after a bad game?
Many teams and leagues advocate the 24-hour rule which encourages parents to wait 24 hours after a game to confront a coach about something that happened in the game. This is to give parents time to calm down and to give the coach time to get his or her head out of the game. I’d go one step further: make an appointment with the coach.
Do you know how to seek to understand your coach?
Seeking to understand is a habit that is sorely neglected in many parent/coach conversations—from both sides. Seeking to understand starts with recognizing the coach is human, has flaws, is trying his or her best, may have problems at home or on the job, and on top of it all, is trying to successfully coach a team while keeping the parents happy.
