Coaching Your Own Children
by Tony DiCicco, Thursday, Dec 6, 2007 11:45 AM ET
Some of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had as a coach were with my own sons and seeing them emerge as competitors, teammates, athletes and fine young men. I know something about parents coaching their own children because I’ve done it and have made every possible mistake. 
How expectations affect performance
By Eric Steege, Thursday, Nov 15, 2007 7:15 PM ET
Whether you know it or not, the expectations you form as a coach about players on your team affects not only your own behavior toward them but also the feelings and performance of those players. Having such an influence on your players’ athletic experience and development is a huge responsibility and a process every coach should understand. Here’s how the process works.
