Every year, our Volunteer coaches run into parents that are not satisfied with how their child is being coached. Here is a document that all parents (and coaches too) should read to remind themselves to keep things in perspective. Happy reading!
A new article titled "Are Great Coaches Becoming an Endangered Species?" is also very good and worth a read...find it here.
