I want to know how you guys feel about having to follow the rules of the younger coach and/or director of a program, whether it's All star cheer, recreational , or Pop warner , even high school . If the coach seems like a well educated , & professional individual and seems to have the experience in cheer to know what he/she is talking about , do you feel comfortable taking the coach seriously enough to listen to and obey what they have to say about purchasing items, when practices are , what should be done at competitions , etc . Just over all, how do you feel about being told what to do by an younger coach ?
I'm asking this question because when I coach my school team for the first time , I want to know what to expect . They will have to pay for a lot of things through fundraising and out of pocket since it isn't declared a sport at that school yet . I just don't know what to do if a parent completely disobey me just because I'm in my early twenties . I am aware that some parents feel the need that it's okay to act like they are the boss because they are the oldest . In my opinion , no matter how old the coach is , if you are a comfortable with having your child on the team , you should abide by the rules as well . I just want to know other parents in take and how would you confront a younger coach about an issue without being or sounding disrespectful . I'm really just trying to prepare my self because I am young and I know it's not gone always have a positive impact on parents .
PS: at my old gym CEA , we had a lot of professionalism from parents and they listened no matter what and followed rules. However , every gym and situation is different so I want different views
