Today’s Podcast: How to Work With and Get Along With Your Child’s Coach

Ted coaching one of his high school softball pitchers.

In this final podcast, I want to address the issue of coaches.

Parent and coaches are not always on the same page, but when it comes to youth sports, they should be on the same team.If you’ve ever struggled to get along with, understand, or even tolerate your child’s coach, this podcast is for you.

I talk with the best coach I know, my husband Ted Meredith–perhaps I am a bit biased!–about how parents can work with their child’s coach to give their young athlete a positive season. Ted’s coached for 29 years and understands a parent’s perspective because he’s a dad of three athletes.

As a sports parent who is trying to give your child a positive youth sports experience, are you running into any of these problems?

Over-involved, pushy sports parents.

Your child is disappointed with his playing time.

Conflicts with your child’s coach.

Your child feels burdened with expectations.
