[quote=Anonymous][quote=NOVASoccerCoach][quote=Anonymous][quote=NOVASoccerCoach][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biggest hacks are the parent fan boys who drink the kool aid their club is handing out. Realize that your club, it’s directors, it’s coaches don’t care that much about you, other than as a customer...and one of many. Much like your dry cleaner. If parents could grasp that, it would allow parents to gain more control and we could put an end to the whole “I have to walk on egg shells around these coaches so they don’t screw over my kid”.[/quote]

Amen.[/quote]

I can tell you right now that as a coach for a club, I don't really see parents as customers at all. I don't make any commission off of how many kids join the club etc. I'd say most coaches hold this opinion. [/quote]

Then the lesson for you as a coach is this is how parents believe they are viewed by the club. [/quote]

Well that's unreasonable because if I think your kid should come to additional training/pay for camps etc, its because I think they really need it, not because I want the club to make money. You're saying parents will think I just want their money when in reality there's no commission at all. [/quote]

How is it unreasonable under that situation to be viewed as nothing more than a open wallet? So you promote your clubs extra training, saying it is for the best of the player and then in another thread you ask what is special about HP? If a kid needed something in particular and you were truly interested in what is best for the kid then you would be able and willing to recommend outside training options, personal training as well as club opportunities. You may not get commission but steering kids towards club training at all costs is not always in the players best interest.

This is when parents are made to feel like nothing more than a checkbook for the club. [/quote]
