Parents As Coaches

On behalf of parents everywhere, thanks for even considering either job!
One reason I became a Coach was because when I tried to give my son advise he said (rightfully so) "You're not my coach". I/M/H/O Parents need to be real careful about reversing a coach's advice especially since almost all are volunteers.
