[quote=Anonymous]Parent coaches can be fine, it all depends on how they handle the responsibilities.  There will always be parents who coach so that they can favor their own kids, and this is usually a losing proposition, though there are some parents who coach and whose kids are clearly the stars and then this is not much of a problem.   Some parent coaches will also favor friends, neighbors or whatever, and just as often, the parent coaches will be seriously out of date in terms of current instruction.  You can see this easily in baseball where hitting (swing for the fences, swing only at strikes) has changed pretty drastically from the 80s (make contact, protect, swing at anything close . . . ).  But non-parent coaches can easily succumb to the same and different problems, and it is even worse now with all of the private coaching.  In many areas, paying for private lessons, often at $100 an hour or more, will put you in the starting lineup.  that is kind of sick and should never be tolerated but it happens all the time and ia also happening increasingly in HS where coaches will run private clubs or training and favor those who pay to play so to speak  Might God, you might as well take a bribe.   In other words, good coaches are hard to find, unfortunately, but when you find one, bet thankful.   [/quote]
