[quote=Anonymous]PP here - one more thing about being a team manager....my advice - which I tried very hard to follow and think it served me well - is never, ever abuse your access to information by sharing it with other parents regardless of how tempting it may be. Team managers often know who is going to be rostered/moved up or down/cut/added, etc, which families have financial issues or are going through a divorce, which kids have medical issues (visible and not visible), etc. Maintain strict confidentiality on these things so you maintain the trust of the coaching staff and your fellow parents. The hardest part was hearing gossip that I knew was blatantly false and not being able to refute or dismiss it. Some years were more drama-filled than others, so I tried to steer clear of the troublemakers, or say something benign like "roster changes haven't been announced yet." Sounds obvious, I know, but still important to keep in mind. [/quote]
