Joel,
I tried coaching years ago when my kid played - soccer & swimming. I realized really quickly that I'd go nuts if I stuck with coaching. The soccer coaching wasn't worth much - at that age you could find the ball by looking for the crowd - no concept of passing or wings or any of that. With the swimming, I actually had a lot of expertise having swum at a national level when I was a kid. I found that my kid & the others there were more interested in being social than in swimming competetively.
I don't think you see that as much with males - maybe it's 'cuz we're not as empathetic with friends & teammates. Then again, it's been so long since I've been involved with as a player in a team sport that the old memory banks could be way faulty.
