Trying to wear both the parent hat and the coach hat at the same time can be both a fantastic and perilous experience (yes, both of those are true), and we’ve received many requests to discuss both the positive and challenging factors that come into play. Britt and Brad share their experiences and Jeff talks about his current approach with his kids as a backdrop to the discussion. From there, they talk about the many reasons that parents should consider coaching their kids, even as an assistant and especially at younger ages. They also define "daddy-ball" in terms of what it looks like in youth sports, as well as the impact it has on other families. As the kids get older, the challenges with trying to wear both hats become more difficult to manage, and the guys provide some tips to consider to help parents approach coaching with purpose and wisdom.
