[quote=Anonymous]"The irony of it all was that our coach called my kid out at halftime and after as the best player out there and that everyone else should be working as hard as she was." My kids play soccer at high levels and have played many other sports. We've seen a variety of coaches and I've coached and played many sports as well. Here's a tip: Coaches usually praise the kids that NEED praising; otherwise, they know that kid will shut down because they aren't mentally tough. Did that happen here? Maybe. May be not. But you seemed to try to create this vision of your child being a star based on some hearsay praise from the coach, when possibly, she really isn't a star. Coach is just trying to help her get through the game. In other words, the best player USUALLY doesn't need praise, the weaker ones do.[/quote]
