( while it may not be appropriate or accurate to look at the coaches daughter to see if it sets some example of talent level on the field...
know people generally will look at the coaches daughter because people see it as reflection of the DAD/MOM who is calling themself a coach... so I'm bringing this question to dfp)
Does the coaches daughter set an example of developmental level on the field? Or should people ignore the developmental level of the coaches daughter? (In other words the DAD/MOM coach daughter is not an example of the coach ability.)
_______________________________
Here's this little story that brought this topic to discussion.
This 14u team is holding tryouts.
(really trying to get enough players together to field a team)
And the coach daughter at 14U level is throwing rainbows and doesn't appear to hold their glove correctly. Looks hesitant and awkward trying to receive throws, grounders and fly balls.
One might think anybody showing up to this tryout whose daughter is better than the coach daughter. Specifically can throw level, correctly hold their glove and receive throws, grounders and fly balls,
That this player would be welcome to join.
But apparently NO.
In this real life scenario
the coach response to parents about their kids trying out who clearly have a more developed skill level.
Said to parents
I'm not sure if i want to pick up your daughter, will have to see her again.
