  1. Hi. ALLISTAIR
    Love the article and I’m very happy to see you are using the word we and not I.
    Yes, I believe we are all in the same boat as coaches, and yes we need to educate the parents more and more.
    The kids are very easy to work with most of the time. thank you for sharing.Keep well

  2. That is such a good insight, but I guess not many parents who have kids in this category are about to be told they need to change! All I know is that when my son plays anyone with a parent like this, it gives my son a big boost because we know they’re going to crumble after they loose a few points, where in realality they could still win if they focuses on the game as a whole and not one mistake.

  3. This is very well written! As a coach and a parent, I have experienced everything that you talked about with my students. I have even asked parents to leave the area or sit in the car. I feel very sad for these players. Thank you for sharing.
