    Parents Coaching while watching an infant child... is this ok?

    Parents Coaching philosophy.....

    As many of you know my son is new to team training. I left practice for a bit tonight and find out "the kids are coaching themselves" because they weren't listening/cooperating/helping. Is this a normal way to handle that situation? I would expect them to be made to condition or something. I...

    WAG Coaching while pregnant

    Although I found two rather old threads in the coach's forum, they did not get very many replies and I'm hoping to get more answers here. Did you or a coach you knew keep spotting while they were pregnant? Did you just go by how you felt or did anyone tell you what (not) to do? I'm currently 3...
