Coaches Are Quitting Because of Parents: 5 Strategies to Stop Parent Problems Before They Start

More and more coaches are leaving the game for one reason: they’re done dealing with parents. So I’m going back to the vault to re-air one of my most requested episodes, on five strategies to prevent parent issues before they ever start.

Before we dive in, I added a new intro on something I didn’t cover the first time: no-cut policies. If you can’t remove a player who’s poisoning your culture, you don’t control your team. Your team controls you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The tryout presentation
The parents meeting
The player-coach contract
The 24-hour rule
Defining the role of the parent
Doing your job

I also share the year 1, 2, 3 pattern I see in parents, and how to address it right away when a parent crosses the line.
