I've always said, if you are shelling out Travel club money, you better do some research to find out if any daddy coaches are on the team your son is looking to join. I witnessed one team that carried 3 daddy coaches and one of the coaches had 2 kids on the team. Kids aren't stupid, they see the favoritism that sometimes goes on in this situation. And you can't tell me some of these coaches don't know what they are doing. The majority of them can't even look you in the face when they pass you by. Finally, as contained in one of the above post "coachable" can be applied widely to define what you want it to be. But the coaches who are mature enough and stand clear from this type of practice of doing a dis-service to kids are very much in the minority.
