15 Tips For Coaching Your Own Child
Coaching your own child adds the complexity of coaching to the complexity of parenting, which is not an easy task. In fact, dedicating enough time to develop each player on the team, satisfying each parent’s needs and desires, and separating your coaching and parenting is almost an impossible task. But, without parents who coach their own child, junior sports would be critically short of sports coaches.
Whilst there is no advice or techniques that would make this job easy, there are some strategies you can follow. At the bottom of this page, there is a link to an article that discusses 15 simple tips that will assist you in becoming a better parent-coach.
The great feature of this article is many of these tips are just as helpful for those coaches not coaching their own child. So, if you continue to coach beyond your child’s team, these tips will hold you in good stead.
