I once lost a parent and my assistant coach. They disappeared around midnight, the dad showed up sometime early morning hr and the assistant coach was last seen around 4 am looking for a room. No one saw them until around 1 pm that day. No one knows where he slept.To clarify and avoid sounding Puritan:
I do not drink on competition weekends, BUT once I am off the clock, I WOULD like to do something other than sit and look at kids. So I might go to a bar to meet up with some other coaches from other programs, especially ones I do not see all the time.)
I find bigger issues with MOMS drinking than coaches.
Miss Drunky McParent, when I'm "off duty" and ready to leave the arena, I need you to be ready to PARENT.
I have had to take kids back to my hotel room after day 1 WITH ME (after a rather late performance time) because mom left early to go to another hotel bar and I didn't know it (these were Y2 kids, not the "you're free to roam" age group.)
I got her daughter ready for Day 2 myself because I did not see her until after we competed on day 2.
