[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is kind of similar but I do stress to him that he’s not helping/ making it worse and he does actually acknowledge it and try to stop. I suppose it helps that I was the D1 athlete not DH so he thinks my sport advice is somewhat legit  :lol:

I think my DH knows the critique is better coming from someone else (coach) rather than him.

One of my kids’ swim coaches said let the critique come from us - they need you to be the parent. That said - [b]I do know it’s tough when you don’t think the coach is offering any critique either.[/b] [/quote]

I'm a rec league coach. I offer some critiques, but probably not as many as a parent who is very knowledgeable of the sport would want. I have a working knowledge of soccer but, frankly, I'm far from an expert. I'm a father who agreed to coach when it looked like very few other parents were. Nine years later, I'm still doing it. Parents keep requesting to have the same kids be on my team, so I guess I'm doing something ok. My hope is that kids who had a need for high level training in soccer aren't relying on me or the rec league to get it done. And if one of the parents has a higher level of knowledge about how to teach soccer and wants to coach, I'm perfectly willing to step aside or step down to assistant. Lots of coaching opportunities for parents who are able and willing to put in the time.  [/quote]
