[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in a HS sport and it is a "winning" team and by all counts DC's play and stats are very good. So this is not a "sour grapes" post of my kid not playing, etc.

We've been with these coaches for years (not by choice) and I've never been a huge fan but have never intervened and let DC deal with them. They are capable of teaching the sport at a high level but their interpersonal communication is just horrible. I could give 1000 examples of things they've said/done to the kids, including mine, that is really just sh-- behavior from a coach. They NEVER say anything nice. Are not encouraging. They yell. They punish. They get involved in the kids' arguments and stuff. Many of the parents over the years (even before we were with the team) do not care for them.

My DC, as I said, is having a great season and had a couple of games in particular where they absolutely saved the games (per many people) and the stats were off the charts. Recent games, the entire team has played not that great but still won the games. My kid's stats are great just not "as great" compared to the 2 absurdly good games. And the coach said as much to my kid, recently, and it really hurt DC's feelings (DC is pretty thick skinned dealing with these people over the years). DC has absolutely done their part for this team and there is only the focus on the negative (which is not even really that negative) after all these years.

I'm obv not going to say anything. So this is part of a vent and this last comment was made after years of non-support, shi---y things said by these coaches (so I'm just at my end). I'm not sure what to say to DC to get them through the end of the season.
