[quote=Anonymous]When you talk to the coach, you should think about your player in absolute terms, not relative to other players. Like "what does [my kid] need to work on to earn more playing time?" It never comes across well to put it in relative terms: "why is [my kid] playing less than [other player]?"--even if that other player isn't the coach's son. And if the coach can't answer that question in the first place, or the answer sucks, that's a (bad) sign. And if your player honestly works on and improves that thing, and nothing changes, that's a bad sign. And if a coach consistently has (seemingly, to you) non-soccer reasons for managing playing time, that's a bad sign. Your job as a parent is to read all these signs and decide when the bad outweighs the good and move on.[/quote]
