[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you’re asking for opinions even though you’ve already made up your mind.

Optics aside, my kids have always benefited greatly from working with different coaches. The coaches see different things, connect and communicate differently, so my kids have more to learn. Hiring someone who already works with your son feels like a lost opportunity to me.[/quote]

I guess I’m asking for an articulation of why the optics are so bad that one shouldn’t do it? And if there’s other reasons not to train with a current coach. I personally don’t care who other players train with so the optics are lost on me.

As you said, having a diverse set of coaches and a new set of eyes seem to be the most compelling reason.[/quote]

Re: optics, if other players and their parents become aware that your kid is training privately with the coach, and therefore the coach is profiting, they may start to assume your kid is getting preferential playing time as a result. If that doesn’t bother you, great, but it could affect your kid’s relationships with his teammates, which can affect play on the field.
