[quote=Anonymous]You could totally be describing my kid and husband. My kid is a natural athlete, loves all sports and all his teachers and coaches talk about how he is a great leader, very good listener etc. He absolutely does not like my husband coaching. This will be my husband's last season as a result. I think it's because he really hates being corrected, but when it's not his dad he can listen to the message and doesn't get emotional. With his dad, it's like he feels hurt that he's being corrected first and barely hears the message. It'll be something like "keep your arms up while playing defense" (basketball), and my son will clearly feel picked on (even if he was the third kid to get that message). I led girl scouts for years, and our rule was always that the mom didn't correct her own child (the co-leader did it). Any chance your husband can get another parent to be an assistant coach? That might help a but. [/quote]
