Interesting topic, that i had to cross my self a few years ago, when my oldest son was hitting the "terrible teen" years we found it tuff to bridge a gap between being a father and being a coach, so i left the coaching up to someone else, this helped our father/son relationship out a great deal and took some of the pressure off, as my youngest son has been hitting the "terrible teens" I have been able to find ways to brdige the gap of father/coach I also think his matutriy level is higher at this age than was his brothers, plus maybe he did see the erros of both his brotheres and my way. There have been occassions where we have found it benificial for me to wwatch my youngest son as a father and let the others do the coaching especially in big matches or against tougher opponents, so that when the match is over i can be there for him as a father not as a coach.
