Communication with coaches Our Mission: Preemptive communication from the Coach can decrease the need for Parents to seek out one-on-ones with the coach. No. 1: It’s very important that Parents always remember their focus is on one player out of say 15 players whereas the coach’s focus is on 15 players. So your child is getting a 15 th of the attention while you’re focused on one. No. 2: Don’t communicate from a point of confrontation. Come from the point of “How can I help this situation? … I just want to help my son or daughter improve and I want to help you help them, so what do you see with my son/daughter that will help them get more playing time? '" No. 3: Keep emotions in check. After Practices or through email are the best times to discuss questions with Coaches. Keep in mind that after games are not a great time since emotions on both sides can be high. Keep it positive for everyone. 24 Hour Rule. No. 4: Encourage Player Responsibility. Encourage the Players to be more responsible, and to go to the Coach and ask, “Can I talk to you? ” No. 5: Keep Parent to Parent communications positive and not as a medium to air problems. If you have an issue, go talk to that Coach. If a resolve is not reached, feel free to discuss with a Board Member or Athletic Director. No. 6: The Ride Home. Control frustrations with your children -- especially on the ride home from a game. If your child is bummed that he didn’t play much in the game, don’t console him/her by disparaging the Coach. We must all be 100% supportive of our Players when they get into the car. Don’t try to give them an analysis or 3 rd Degree. Let them talk if they feel like it and listen to them.
