Parent Coaching

Everyone wants their kids to succeed. People get involved in their child's sport to ensure that they succeed and they do so in many ways such as taking them to more practices, being at competitions etc. Some parents take it a step further and believe that they know what is best for their child in order to succeed.

This is where the conflict happens.

Parents, unless you have enough history and credentials in your child's sport that is equal to or greater than their coach's then you should not be coaching your child. The coach is there for a reason. 

Many parents to not seem to realize just how much of an influence they can have on their child's psyche. Kids naturally want to please their parents and take losses really hard. Parents should give social and emotional support for their child, but never sports advice. It is confusing for a young athlete to have 2 or more coaches because they are not mentally mature enough to pick and choose what advice to follow.

Parent coaching leads to low performance, difficulty in improving skills, and inattentiveness. This is because in a child's mental hierarchy, their parents are above their coach which means they will be more likely to listen to their parents over the coach. 

Let coaches do their jobs. Trust us, and we promise we will do everything we can to give your child opportunities to succeed.
