If you are a parent who does "hate" your child's youth sports coach, what should you do?

Didn't we already beat that horse in the first thread?

Worry more about the quality of your kids’ TEACHERS and PASTORS

Sports are, of course, a worthwhile and healthy activity, but Americans have taken the pursuit of them, as part of the education process, to an extremely unhealthy and expensive degree.

The first problem was naming your daughter “Madison”.

If you are talking of the paid kind, you wouldn’t be normal if you did not hate your kids coach. Speaking as someone who played sports at a high level, those I played with who went into coaching as a profession at the youth level did so because they were unqualified for any other profession. They come in two varieties, the extremely dumb or the extremely crazy. You get better coaching from father/mother volunteers who are a lot more normal as human beings. If you want to find a large collection of life’s losers, head on down to your local baseball academy.

Hating your child's Coach is relative to the expectations you have, if the Coach is not teaching the game, if he is not teaching teamwork, if he is not teaching them how to win, then yeah go ahead and hate him, but if you hate him because he is doing all those things well but you think your child should be the team star player, then you are the one who has a problem acting like a child who tells his parents he hates them, in a general sense the child who says that is an indicator the parents are doing a good job, the same holds true of the Coach...emphasis on In General (before some start flying off the handle).
