With everything that has come out in Orono, parents need to stay out of the coaching process/decision making. It allows coaches to create a supportive and constructive environment where young athletes can learn, grow, and make their own mistakes, which allows these kids to develop resilience, problem-solving abilities, and a sense of responsibility. Parents should be their kids number 1 fan, no doubt but stay out of the decision making. As Bobby Orr said, "I promise you that if you’re good enough and work hard enough, then you’ll get a chance to play." Don't know much about the EGF Bantam situation but I was listening to KFAN the other day and someone called in on that.
