Coach and Parent Tips of the Week (11/17/09)
Coach Tip of the Week - If your child is on the team you coach, plan to have a co-coach or assistant coach be the primary provider of instruction for your child. Do the same for the other coach, if he or she has a child on the team. This "cross-coaching" can make the experience more enjoyable for you and your child.
Parent Tip of the Week - Remember, research shows that athletes who receive positive encouragement, support and unconditional love from their parents tend to thrive. Remind your child that dinner will be on the table after the game regardless of how well they play.
