Also, but this is only MY opinion...........We as Dads/parents need to be involved in our kids lives. Having a high school coach that wants to be involved year round is great, but not an excuse for us to expect someone else to bring our kid to the next level. Who cares more about my kid than me? Nobody! This is a double edged sword. You don't want to be the psycho in the room, but all I'm saying is to stay involved. My kid knows what I am going to say before I can spit it out. He knows I will go to war for him and he knows that I won't sugar-coat a critique. He also knows that no matter what, I am proud of him. It's called being a parent. Behind them all the way, whether it's holding them up or pushing them to greatness. I hope he is as thankful someday as I am for all the Saturdays my Dad spent in hot stinky gyms.
