[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Not being deliberately vague. Didn't see/hear it, but had a kid in tears later that night, who said that's what happened after he missed a pass.

I'm not inclined to say anything to the coach unless it becomes a pattern, but I'm wondering whether I'm underreacting.[/quote]

If you weren’t there, you don’t know whether your child is accurately describing what happened (not that he is necessarily lying, but if he felt embarrassed to have his mistake pointed out, he may have perceived the coach’s response as more than it was).  If you are concerned, you need to observe a couple of practices for yourself to see what’s happening.  [/quote]

NP - but the kid is in tears.  That suggests a coach who doesn't know a player - an 11 year old player, nonetheless - well enough to know what motivates him.  And I'm someone who did respond to that kind of feedback as a competitive adult athlete.  For a kid?  Nope.

OP, I'd put it as a 3.[/quote]
