They TELL ME AS THE COACH who has played soccer AND tell other parents and PLAYERS SPECIFICS OF HOW PLAYERS SHOULD BE POSTIONED, SPECIFIC TRAINING METHODS AND GAME STRATEGY AND SO FORTH. GENERALLY HOW THINGS SHOULD BE DONE, BOTH AT GAMES AND BEHIND MY BACK. Every so often a parent will turn in to a heckler at games.

So where is this other expert opinion and insight coming from when I hear those parents who are self admitted ignorant of soccer tell me or players certain things I did not tell them as parents?

Why is any parent yelling commands and coaching instruction and correction out to the players anyway?

I have even seen the child tell their parents to stop and the kids come to me and complain their dad or mom keeps yelling at them… I tell the parents this and they do not want to hear it. Gets to the point, you wind up cutting them because these few parents are destroying the whole team. So you lose a good kid cause of the parents who refuse to listen and grow up.

By and large, while some coaches are the problem, mainly its a certain percentage of parents out there that are the cause of all the issues in youth sports.

Greater parent education needs to be had and they need to learn to support the team and coach and take a big old drink of shut the H Up.
