[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My kid is starting to show some genuine interest in my sport after trying several others. I'm finding it hard not to jump in and correct technical mistakes or offer tips when we're at home, but my input isn't landing well. I'm starting to think my role should just be to cheer from the sidelines and find them quality coaches instead. This would all be would be easier if they'd picked a different sport! [/quote] Been there, done that. If you can't keep your mouth shut, or just keep it positive, don't get involved. WAIT. It took me a couple of seasons to realize I had to coach my kids the way I coach my players (not my kids), it made a huge difference. Having things be FUN at home is what made the difference. Let the kid come to you for the technical stuff. Mention you are there for that, but don't get into the weeds. Just praise the fun stuff. Make it all games. [/quote]
