[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do coaches lie to girls and parents?[/quote]

They are like used car salesmen. They don’t know how to tell the truth.[/quote]

Parents also have selective hearing when it comes to their kids.[/quote]

OP here. 95% of parents either don’t see their kids’s weaknesses or flaws or downplay them. Most overestimate their kids’ abilities.

Wherever possible, find a team where the coach doesn’t have a kid on it. But they are hard to find, especially at the younger ages (10, 12)[/quote]

I want to ask about the having no kid on the team. I’ve seen some of this and the coaches seem to be 45+ and have coached a lot. Now, we are starting to see a slightly different model where these organizations bring in young 20-something women who played in college. Not to refute your advice, but while the former might be better than a parent coach, I don’t think the latter is. These young women don’t seem to have coached before. And I predict will have a lot of turnover. Other sports follow that model of young former college players as coaches and it is rife with issues. [/quote]
