We can’t underestimate the role of the coaches & parents
Parents/Guardians firstly ask yourselves why is the child there?
- Is it because they love football?
- Is it to be with their friends?
- Is it to improve as a player?
- Is it to stay fit and healthy?
- Is it a combination of all?
Then ask yourselves…
- What if the team loses? And continues to lose?
- What if your child is a substitute?
- What if your child gets taken off?
- What if your child makes a mistake that leads to a goal?
- What if your child scores a goal?
- What if your child is player of the match?
How does the conversation go on the way home? What questions do you ask them?
- Did you enjoy the game/session?
- What was your favorite part?
- What did you do well?
