Advice: Coaching Your Son, While Also Being A Parent'
Interesting times for me. Kaden is 7 years old (lefty, actually both our children are lefties) and is currently playing Machine Pitch. He's come along way year over year and I have a few questions for you dads/coaches out there.
Last year I coached and felt I was putting on extra pressure on him, geez I thought to myself he is only 6! So this year I am in the stands and while he is just 7 I still want him to do well. We talk small concept stuff (during the week) such as: If a runner is on first and you're playing second base defensively, and the ball is hit to you, what's your move?, play catch, work on throwing, batting, etc. This also gives us time to just hang out, which is awesome.
What is good advice for balancing being a dad and coach?
Any do's and do not's?
