[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be a kindness to your friend to give her the right avenue for her energy.

Point out that your kid is a brand-new freshman on the JV team. You both have no relationship with the coach, and there’s no way that a good coach would or should listen to outside influencers when they’re making up the team — much less to a family that’s the lowest on the totem pole.

What you can do is give her the coach’s contact info for HER KID to reach out. They can ask about being the team manager for this season, and also ask for three concrete things they should be doing between now and next spring.

Talk about how eye-opening high school sports has been — how there is much more expectation on the players to do the communication, not the parents.

Finally, make sure that when you get together, you’re not talking about your kid and the high school team — how busy they are, how tough the schedule is, how they did in their last match, etc. [/quote]

NP. This is a good, balanced answer.[/quote]
