CASE STUDY #6
This particular scenario involves a youth hockey player whose father is in direct conflict with the team objectives of the coach. The father is a former professional player that publicly displays money in an attempt to motivate his son (i.e., $5.00 per goal). The player is of average ability and is relatively accepted by his teammates. The father's goals are in direct conflict with the objectives of the coach and other team members.
Questions:
- How do you address the team in regards to this situation?
- In what manner does a coach approach the father?
- What steps do you take with the player in regards to this problem?
- What are possible suggestions to prevent this situation in the future?
