Thanks Coach. I agree well said. I hope more coaches are like you not only Dad coaches in recognizing their biases. It’s going to benefit the team and remember the dad’s kids eventually will not be playing for their dads. Greatest dad coach Bob Hurley went out of his way to be harder on his own sons to send the message that there was no favoritism on the team and it appears to worked out. Each of their college coaches loved their work ethic and team first approach.[/quote]

I hope all dad coaches are reading this especially prior to this weekend.
