Never Coach Your Own Kid 'Swing It News! Vol.134 July2015

Never Coach Your Own Child

No, I'm not going crazy. Yes, I did say to never coach your own child. You may be a volunteer youth baseball coach but you should still never coach your own kid.

I have observed and witnessed some pretty ugly and unhealthy situations between dad and player over the years. I would say that most if not all of you have experienced some bad scenarios, too.

I'm going to lay out the problems and likely scenarios that most dad/player relationships touch on. Some are minor infractions and others are major catastrophes that dampen the spirits of everyone in the vicinity.

I will give you my key advice to getting around the problem of team coaching but at the same time, never coaching your own kid.

Do you want to know how you can coach the team yet never coach your own child?

I can give you the key to enjoying the youth baseball experience while practicing with your child while at the same time never coaching your child. I will tell you how my dad did it with me and my brother. I will tell you how the major leaguers do it with their own children.

I will enable you to work with your assistant coaches and allow everyone to coach the team but avoid coaching their own kids.

Before you learn the baseball stuff you should really know how to build a coaching approach and style.

Here is the workbook and audio CDs that will help build your foundation to manage your ballclub.

I often use the measuring stick by seeing how many of your ballplayers return to play the next year. Are you helping kids to get better, enjoy the game, and build on the experiences of being a good teammate?

Are you attracting players to baseball or driving them out? Are you a magnet to players or a repellent?
