I host monthly parents meetings. These are used to work on fund-raising, outreach, sportsmanship, and so forth.
At my meeting this month a mother insisted that I needed to work with each kid on what their "purpose" was. I went on to explain that we use the term "role" with the team. She insisted that she understood, but it wasn't what see meant.
Am I missing something here? Is there a difference?

The player's purpose is to learn the most basic of all lessons, life isn't fair and it takes character to maintain a positive attitude in lue of abilities. And the role of the player is to glorify the team.

In my view the player's purpose is to:
1. graduate
2. serve the team (put the team first)
3. learn and work to become their best

Coach SHS,
What size school are you? I'd like to get some background on these meetings. My principal has suggested doing a parents class before. I'm curious to see how you work these and how they came about etc.

We have 600 kids in the HS, coed. I have 80 in my program.
When I get a minute I can send you some organizational material if you want.

Hey Coach SLS,
That is a very intertesing question. Did she mean life purpose? Do you guys do FCA at your school? That could have been what she was looking for. Maybe her needed some guidance in that area. If you have any information, on how you set up your meetings I would like to have that as well.
