Ep. 137: The Parent Coach: The Rewards, the Risks, and the Rules to Follow
Balancing the roles of parent and coach can be both incredibly rewarding and unexpectedly challenging, and after many requests to explore this topic, Britt and Brad share lessons from their own journeys while Jeff adds perspective from coaching his own kids. They discuss why parents should consider getting involved—even as assistants—especially at younger ages, and they explain what “daddy ball” looks like and how it impacts other players and families. As kids grow older and the tension between the two roles becomes harder to manage, the guys offer practical guidance to help parents coach with intention, fairness, and wisdom.
