My dad coached both of my brothers' soccer teams when we were growing up. I began coaching gymnastics long before I had kids and I have had the pleasure of coaching my daughter for the past two years. Coaching your own child is one of the most challenging and rewarding things you can do. Keep a positive outlook and leave the coaching on the field and you will do fine. I just might need to write a post on this topic... Adam,

I'm interested because I'm the dad of two girls, now seven and two. The 7-year-old is in her first year of soccer now. Our coaches are great, but by their own admission, they're basketball and football coaches, and are coaching soccer because of a coaching shortage (we live in a smallish town). I played six years or so of soccer as a kid, and my dad coached my first team. I went from there to play sports throughout high school and college, and even minored in Physical Education in college. So, why am I writing all this? I'm interested in perhaps coaching, in years to come... and although I've studied sports psychology and played a lot, I've never been a dad before, didn't grow up with sisters, and my wife was never an athlete. I want to be the best dad for my girls I can be, and allow them to have the greatest experiences with sports that they can. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing here; and I'll be sure to weigh in more as you go. Thanks again! Hi Char,
