[quote=Anonymous]I have to admit as both a college athlete and former coach that the self-proclaimed former athletes and coaches are the worst parents to deal with. They have strong opinions and struggle with objectivity. Even if their kid is playing all the time, they don't like the shape or style of play or have some other complaint. I'd try to be as positive as you can and encourage your daughter to say something if she specifically brings it up as a problem in the spring. The other thing you need to be careful about is directly undermining the coach with your daughter. Saying they don't know what they are doing or bashing their decisions will only confuse and upset her. She is trying to adapt to a new team and do the best she can, which is never easy (even if you are good). Giving people the benefit of the doubt in what you communicate to your kids is important far beyond youth sports.[/quote]
