CASE STUDY #16
Pee Wee traveling team. Dealing with one of the best players on the team. He was receiving hand signals directing positional play from his father in the stands. The player is very coachable and listened as long as his father was not there. To compound the problem, after the father was approached about his activity, the father denied the hand signals and eventually pulled his son off the team.
- What is the proper time to discuss a problem of this nature?
- What strategy would you use in addressing the problem with the father?
- What concerns should you be aware of with regards to the player?
- How might this situation affect the coach’s relationship with the rest of the team? Other parents? Fellow coaches?
