As a coach, I constantly refer to my athletes as my kids. I didn't give birth to any of them, but I love them dearly (most times :p ) and they become a part of my family. If one of my kids wants to leave at the end of the season, then I support them, but I would like to know. I hate waiting for them to come to tryouts, and they've disappeared. Next thing you know, you see them with another gym. Just let me know...I promise I won't yell :)
I hate losing any of my kids, but I understand it. There are only a handful of kids (can count on one hand) who have left in a manner I disagreed with over the course of my coaching career. Everyone else that has left, did it at the end of the season. I still see some of them, and get a hug hello. They're still my kids, just are not cheering for me any longer.
