MESSAGE #1203 THE BEST PLACE TO COACH

Someone once told me that the best place to coach is in an orphanage.

No parents.

There is a lot of truth in this joke.

I have seen many parents OVER involved in their child’s sport.

I have even had to kick parents out of a tournament site for coaching during a tennis match.

I understand that a parent wants their child to succeed, but by being overly involved and putting a tremendous amount of pressure on their child is not the way.

The main role of the parent is to provide LOVE and SUPPORT.

Period.
