From Chapter 8: Two of my prouder moments as a coach were related to my role as a parent-coach. The first was when a parent told me it took her three practices to figure out which child was mine. The second was when my son came into the post-practice huddle, put his arm around me and said, "You're a great coach, Dad!" The first moment is an aspect of coaching your own child that is often overlooked. More often that not a coach is harder on his own child than on the other children. Occasionally a coach will treat his own child in a special way. Both are situations that should be avoided. The majority of the time you should treat your own child as one of the team during practices and games.

Even a veteran coach like myself learned a few things!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coaching Kids: It's More than X's and O's (Paperback)
This book deals with issues that aren't generally discussed at sport specific clinics and that many coaches don't learn until they've had a bad experience. The liability chapter alone was a huge eye opener to me. I'd recommend this book to any coach, regardless of sport or experience.

The perfect "how to" reference for youth coaches.,

This review is from: Coaching Kids: It's More than X's and O's (Paperback)
This book is great for those just starting to coach children and the weekend parent-coach. I've never coached children before and found the chapters to be concise and easy to follow. I especially liked the bulleted summary at the end of each chapter. I have confidence that I could be a successful youth coach and will have this book as a reference by my side!
5.0 out of 5 stars
The perfect book for the parent who is now a coach!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Coaching Kids: It's More than X's and O's (Paperback)
An excellent resource for every coach but especially the parent who never thought they would be a coach, but find themselves with a whistle around their neck. It is easy to read and has wonderful realistic examples of dealing with many situations not related to the game itself.
