Subject: RE: Thread about N9thing: 99 pages of Naught on the Walllvthgme - 2007-09-18 2:24 PM As far as being coached by a parent...I think it depends on the parent and their understanding/experience in the game/coaching...and of course on the relationship with the kid...I know some families where it works well and others it's a bad deal...
So true, so true. My dad coached me in basket ball from 5th-8th grade. Made for some very bad years after that. Actually, I still give him a hard time now (all in jest of course) about how he would single me out on the court. He finally admitted to it years later (like 5 or something like that) that he realized he was harder on me than the other kids. Probably why I stopped playing before my junior year in HS and focused on high jumping. That and picking up his smoking habit (I know, I know. DUMB!) |
