Speech (MAIN) Having a Parent as a Coach

Having a Parent as a Coach

See I told you it will work Jack, Says dad. Because I thought the move wouldn’t
work. Hi, my name is Jack and today I will be giving you an amazing speech
about the ups and downs of having a parent as a coach.

When your parent first agrees to coach, your probably really excited. Because
of More minutes, he might not be as mean and as strict as other coaches. Well,
Your WRONG! When my dad was the coach that wasn’t the story. I got the
same exact minutes as everyone else. And not being mean and as strict if
you’re a parent is the coach is WRONG aswell. One time we were playing a fun
game at training and next thing I turn around to get the ball BANG dads there
to bowl me over. Bet u he wouldn’t do that to the others. I just got up and
started playing defence even harder and made sure I didn’t let him do that
again.

To be honest, having a parent as a coach isn’t all the bad. It’s cool knowing
whats happening at training before training has already started because of
your parent asking you for your opinion on a set move we have. Another thing
I personally liked having a parent as a coach was normally when you don’t
know the coach you're a bit shy and if you are unsure of something you're too
shy to get help but if your parent coaches you know them really well and won't
be shy to ask anything.

The awkwardness after losing a game and not knowing what to say to each
other about the game is so weird. After a win, the vibe is way different to a
losing vibe at home and at trainings. Which sucked after a loss. One time after
a game we had lost a game after losing 4 in a row me and my dad didn’t talk
for ages because of how mad we were.

But you think all that's bad, that's just the start. The most embarrassing thing
is my dad going nuts on the sideline arguing with the refs. Sometimes I think
he's going to get kicked out of the arena and we’ll have to coach ourselves.
One time one of my friends from the other team was shooting a free throw and
dads screaming out Miss miss MISS!! To try and distract him, Well that didn’t
work because he made the shot and laughed at dad. 

In conclusion, these are some of the ups and downs of having your parent as
a coach, but I totally recommend you asking your parent to coach your next
team your in because its a great bonding experience and you get some
funny stories out of it. Thank you for listening to my speech
