What unhelpful comments does the  coach make to the kids about practices and meets?

You’ve given no specifics and from your post, it appears his comments are true, though bothersome.

If you or your kids believe that the discipline and rules don’t equally apply across the team because faster kids should have leeway or else you’ll leave, I’m guessing he’d want you to leave.

Covid was 4 years ago. Im guessing the divorce, school changes and moves were awhile ago, too, which is why things are calming down for you. When were they? Have you have unreliable routines for four years?

What are the conflicts with practice, are they constant, are there practice requirements and commitments? How frequent?

My guess is for a teen 12/13+, expectations are for good attendance, unless you’re willing to stay in a lower group. Otherwise, it’s disruptive and unfair to the other kids.

The rules apply to everyone, regardless of ability. Either you prioritize the activity or you dont. Either you can follow the team’s rules or you can’t. Either you can fix the issues or you can’t and either you can stop blaming old stressors on a current and likely long term lack of consistency…or you can’t.

Those are the questions you need to ask yourself. [/quote]
