sometimes it's better to sit and learn for a season instead of being thrown to the wolves when your not ready yet! that has always worked, so far!!!
when a pro teaches long enough, it's bound to happen. in a private discussion (parents only), they must trust the coach and allow a separate relationship between the coach and player to develop; otherwise, it won't work. i always let the parents know that they will be kept up with what's happening and the direction where we're going.
