[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do coaches allow this? It's embarrassing for the club[/quote]

Because coaches could care less about adults who never grew up and kids that need parental guidance that obviously missed the mark due to them living vicariously through their child as children themselves. This whole thread screams insane insecurities. Go have an adult beverage with a friend and try not to talk about soccer. [/quote]

Wow. After reading that, I feel like I’ve had a dozen strong adult beverages. [/quote]

Does this suggest the 20 something, former college soccer player is a good resource for parenting advice? My guess is many of the coaches don’t have a clue about raising children. (And probably a lot of other things)[/quote]

Bingo! Not the job of the coach or teacher. That’s the job of the parent who if on here is probably the whole issue to begin with. [/quote]

Agreed. Most non-parent coaches are snot nosed 20 yr olds who are clueless about kids. This is where the TD / club are supposed to play a part in training the newbie coach, but alas they often do not. [/quote]

Again that’s on the parent not coach. Not sure why you all think that Coaches and Teachers should teach your child life skills. [/quote]

One of the foundations and benefits of the entire sports community is the opportunity to learn life skills and make friends, because the overwhelming majority aren't going to be pros in their given sport.  Or should the coaches just stop talking about being there for the love of the game and all the things in they attribute in their life that they got from their soccer/sports experience if that's no longer part of the social contract implicit in sports?  No one thinks a coach should be raising their kid or giving parenting advice.    A coach is still a role model and instills values and projects an image to these kids, just like their teachers.[/quote]

My kid was lucky to have a coach that thought exactly this way and coached accordingly.  Forever grateful. [/quote]
