parent/coaches vs parents.

[twenty2]

I can speak to both sides of this...

As a parent... I let the coaches coach. My kids have gone without p.t., sometimes for a year or 2 at a time. I taught them to accept it as part of the game, stay focused, hone their skills, stay watchful for their opportunity.......and then kill shit. It's worked to their advantage and once they show and prove in those moments, shit takes off from there. My girls were instrumental in takin their H.S. volleyball team to the championship and winning and my son been startin QB for whatever squad he's been on for about 7 years runnin now. Had a couple breaks here and there when he would level up or whatever...but it was back to square one...wait for yo shot.....then murder shit. QB get hurt, or miss a game, they run wit him as back up and then he be in there like booty hair.

As a coach... It's always the parents who kids ain't shit or just straight unenthused that got the most to say. And they never wanna take the time to work with them themselves when the game is done or practice is over. THAT can help immensely, if with nothing else, CONFIDENCE. I can't count how many times I played football or volleyball in the street when I had "better shit to do". And I don't know SHIT about volleyball...but I would pay attention at practices AND have my girls teach ME. That shit goes a long way.

I have seen it all from parents wanting to fight the coaches and/or pulling their kids off of the team to parents stressing to their kids that they have to earn pt and/or pretty much letting it be known that they don't expect much, they just want their child to get out of the house and be around other kids.

Ive seen kids just be happy to be on the team, to kids crying because they only got a few plays in to "superstars" throwing hissy fits due to a lack of touches.

What homie up above said from his coaching POV is spot on.

Then you have the parents that's loving you and giving you high fives when youre winning, but so as you get into the close game, or down late in the game, they know every play you should be calling and every adjustment that needs to be made.

Man, Freshman year the QB was the Son of the OL Coach. He sucked, my homie sat behind him and was clearly better in practice. We started off 0-2 and homie never got in the game, so he quit.

this was me in hs..

but basketball tho..

coach had a "thing" about starting freshman on the froshoph team..

i started ballin at 8 and besides and besides that first yr i never sat the bench..

played on traveling teams.. did clinics.. the whole 9..

one of the top schools in Cali wanted me but moms wouldnt let me go cause she said all they wanted me for was sports and didnt care for my education..

so what her dumbass do? sent me to a school that didnt care about my education OR sports! i was way more advanced than these niggas im hoopin wit and coach would bench me.. after a few games of us gettin blowed out and only gettin garbage time i was out! moms was like "jus wait til u get ur time and shine" well id get in ball and if i did get us back in the game he'd put his starters back in.. so yeh.. i was done. lmmfao

i got two boys.. one aint athletic so he dont want to play.. the other aint academic so he cant play.. my daughter is very strong and balanced for her age and very active.. imma have to put her in sports.. as a parent and former athlete i know the kid doesnt get better "by gettin the ball thrown to him." they get better through practice.. so if i was concerned about they Pt id be outside wit them workin on the shit.. and if i feel they better than whoever is ahead of them in the games imma start goin up to they practices and seein how they are at practice..

its also up to a parent to do they homework on the coach and school.. they history.. u cant send yo son a reciever to a school runnin the read option or wing t and be mad yo kid aint gettin thrown to. or a school who runs a spread and mad they not handin the ball off to him.. what u think was go happen?

u also gotta take into consideration ur child.. are they even trippin or is it ur pride as a parent thats hurt?? if my kid trippin then im right there front and center cause my child needs to know i got his or her back.. if they aint then i aint cause they aint about to get the false sense of reality that daddy is go fight they battles in life.

i dont plan on ever bein a coach.. but i got a lil girl so who knows.. probably aint go want no othr nigga coachin her so may have to learn soccer or some shit.. but in that event im not the biased type.. u good?? u play! parents can kiss my ass.. or give me some ass if she wants me to consider givin her daughter more playin time! :joy:
