you don't know why practice is a more potent environment to coach kids in?

It's not your job to tell them to be more aggressive during the game

Keep that in mind when my son is starting and your kid is in the stands

Oh, I don't have kids. This is coming from a coach. Keep in mind that you probably don't know as much as you think

It depends on how you do it.

Can I add two more to your list? (1) Don't talk to coaches about other players on the team and (2) On higher level teams
