CASE STUDY #4

You are a new coach of a youth hockey travel team that has kids of parents that are on the board of directors of the youth hockey program. They constantly put pressure on you to play their kids more than the other kids on the team. Also, you have to deal with those same kids who really don't want to be there.
Questions:
- How do you keep all the parents happy (board member vs. regular parents)?
- If board members kids should not be there, how do you keep team unity?
- How do you handle the mental attitude of those players who are on the team because of parents?
