Played a little football in my day. My kid’s the next big star—if only the coaches saw it. I don’t volunteer, but I coach from the stands Friday nights.
@GregBerge No, that’s a parent that is not fully committed to making sure that their child gets playing time, gets to shine as the star, gets recognition and accolades that they deserve; regardless of skill or talent level.
@brendancahill_ SAT scores? Really. Just get my kid on the field and his play will speak for itself. He don’t need no stinking SATs or ACTs. His talent is the only measure one needs.
@CoachSwit My kid’s in travel leagues right now—no time to breathe, weekends gone, dinners in the car, and we’re crossing three counties like it’s nothing. Homework’s a suggestion at this point, but hey, that’s the price of greatness. He’s making it to the show whether he wants to or not.
@AlanSteinJr Couldn’t have said it better about some coaches. I’ve heard every excuse in the book about why my son isn’t in the game. Blaming, complaining, excuses — ironic.
@louloularue2 Oh absolutely he’s going pro. I’m counting on it to validate my parenting. So coaches, play him — if he doesn’t make the league, that’s on you.
@SportPsychTips As a coach, your job is:
1.Put my kid in the game.
2.Recognize they’re the best player

4.Explain to colleges why he’s not starting.
5.Listen to me after every game.

@JimHaverstrom Well said. These kids don’t need coaches to succeed. Coaches kept my little superstar from reaching his full potential, how many other youth/high school athletes dreams are being crushed by coaches?
