How fast they grow up. Someday you'll Iong to hear the coach cheering your kid on.

It was too much. Yelling, always yelling. My kid's dad said it was good life training for my son. Not in agreement about that statement. I would talk to my son after the games and check in. He seemed okay though I openly told him I didn't feel it was a good way to coach. I was so glad when that season was over. My son was probably nine or ten at the time.

Maybe ear pods to listen to something else and make sure your kid is handling it okay - and that you think it is too much.
