Ep 16 What do I do about a coach who yells at my kid?

from Youth Sports Insider · host Sammi

https://heysammi.com/  should i confront my child's coach for yelling? a dad in charlotte wrote to me because his son's coach screams at every mistake, and a boy who used to beg to go to practice is now playing scared. in this episode i answer the questions parents search when this happens. is it normal for youth coaches to yell? how do i know if a coach is too hard on my kid? when should a parent step in with a coach? i draw the line between loud and demeaning, explain why fear makes young athletes worse instead of tougher, and give you the exact question to ask your kid in the car before you do anything. then the playbook. why you never approach a coach after a game, how to open the conversation with your child's development instead of an accusation, what to watch on the rest of the bench, and the two-week test that tells you whether you have a conversation or a decision. plus why pulling your child from a toxic team isn't quitting, it's protecting. got a question for the show? email me.
