Hello from Ohio
This is a great topic that I have been dealing with for a couple of years. For the last 2 years at the beginning of the season I have asked my son if he wants me to coach him and he always says that he wants me in the corner, I don't work with him at practice one of the other coaches works with him and coaches during the match I'm in the corner just for comfort. Those that know me know that I still have try and coach a little bit but for the most part I'm there for support thanks in large part because of the coaches we have.
This year I was asked to help coach his football team, I asked him him first and that I would work with the line and not the backs helps alot so I'm not working with him directly which I think helps.
It is nice to let someone else coach them that way you can be a father and comfort after a tough loss or congradulate after a big win. It all depends on the level and knowledge of the other coaches in your club. When we were with the Newton Kids Club I would have felt comfortable having any one them coach Austin!
I should quit now and wish everyone with KS Kids Clubs a great year. Austin is hoping we can come back and wrestle a couple of tournaments in KS this year.
One last thing the coaches Austin has had have been great to start with he had Dave Alsteah(Not Correct Spelling) and Matt Treaster in Newton and here in Ohio he has a NCAA Champ Jon Lewellan(Illionis) as his coach so you can see why I can step aside.
Have a Great Year
