[quote=Anonymous]Coaching is very much a skill. You'll have to develop it, and also an instructional relationship with your kid. It's worth doing though, because it will only make your kid that much more coachable. It's worthwhile reading relevant coaching material, even if it's only sports nutrition and conditioning. We recently switched teams, and I think my DD's new coach was somewhat surprised she actually listened and implemented the things he was talking about in practice (while the coaches' kids barely listened to word they said). She very quickly became the go to player. Coaches' kids not listening seems par for the course in AAU basketball, it's kind of weird, we love them for organizing the teams anyway. AAU basketball is still very much parent coach oriented. The bottom line is until you get to MS/HS program where they coaches are training them 5+ days a week, you'll have to figure out how to plug the gaps and get the right amount of training when they need.[/quote]
