“Between a Rock and a Hard Place”

Imagine you are a high school athlete and you come home from a practice or a game and your parents start telling you how incompetent your coach is.  Now you love and respect your parents and so you have to listen to them.  Now, as a high school athlete you are placed in a real dilemma. You have a coach that works with you each and every day, a coach that expects you to do things the way that you are coached.  You know if you do not listen to the coach and perform the way you are instructed, then you will not get the chance to compete. But you know the coach is incompetent because your parents told you so. 

Parents please do not put your student-athlete in this predicament, because they cannot win.  If they listen to you belittle the coach and buy into that, then they will not respect the coach.  If they do not respect the coach and perform as instructed, then they will not compete.  Please do not put your student-athlete between a rock and a hard place, because ultimately the student-athlete will be the one who suffers.  Let the young people enjoy their high school experiences.  Support the program, support the coach, and it can be a “win-win” situation.

Respectfully,

Mike Cloy
