Let him play what he wants to play and help him when he wants it. No need to "push" for or against - let him find his own way. Had two daughters who unfortunately inherited their father's athletic DNA. One of them did get two varsity HS letters but eventually, like most people, they found where their real interests and talents lay. Sometimes it's by trial and error, or failure. As a parent you have to let them. Couldn't agree with you more blb. I would just add that sometimes kids surpise you. I know a coach who coached football and wrestling. Your son sounds exactly like his when he was that age. I would have predicted the same thing that you are with your boy. He turned out to be a state qualifier in wrestling his senior year and went on to play D3 college football. I will admit though, that you usually can tell at a very young age how athletic a kid will be. |

Amen, Brother Phantom, Amen, on both counts! this is the if you havent played college ball, you cant possibly know what it takes to be a coach argument... You are lucky you haven't been banned fromn this site. In virtually every one of your posts you violate one or more of first four rules (have you even read them?) of CoachHey.com My opinion does not necessarily reflect those of administrators and/or moderators. |

I am pretty sure I never said that anywhere. Why would you take what I said as meaning that?

Eh, I have to give macgilman my support on this one, even though I believe I understood what phantom was trying to say. He just didn't word it well/precisely. I think his original would have been more accurate/acceptable if he had said something more about understanding a PARENTS VIEW OF COACHING. or understanding an aspect of coaching such as dealing with parents. To say you don't really understand COACHING until you have a child... well, I would side with Macgillman and say that sits right next to you don't really understand COACHING unless you played college ball (or anything else that not every coach has done) |

You will never understand how a parent feels though and that is what was said. It does change your perspective.
