Is coaching your kid … a right?

I recently opened this “can-of-worms” and suggested that coaching even your own child, is a privilege and NOT a right!

I offer for the purpose of discussion these thoughts:

While I will concede, that NO one can be a better parent than you are for your kid, can someone else be a better Coach?

Do Parent/Coaches have trouble separating these two duties? Do parents at matside have too much “emotion” invested in what’s going on?

As a Parent who had a child on teams, I was often asked to Coach that team. (Which I did) Is there an appreciable difference in coaching your child in a “team-sport” and coaching them in an individual sport?

I expect a lot of other questions but these should be sufficient to get things started!
