[quote=Anonymous]I like strict coaches. I like high expectations. I like a coach who pulls a kid for not doing what he was supposed to do and who either asks him why he thinks he got pulled or tells him why and makes him think about it. I don't mind occasional yelling. I can even tolerate regular yelling. One of my kids has a coach who gets really heated and sometimes yells out the kids names in a way that might seem a bit intense... I love that my son doesn't let it get it to him. When my kid doesn't start because he was late to practice and the team super star plays all game even though he missed practice, I tell my kid that that's life and get used to it.

But the particulars of what a coach says and how the coach says it matter a lot. There's a line that isn't okay to cross. We all probably set the line in a different place. I think I am okay with more tough coaching than other parents but I have a line. And I did choose not to take my daughter to a particular club because I had a bad feeling about the coach and then read specifics on this board about his behavior.
