Hi Janine, I have coached both of my daughters over the years, and I am
currently coaching my 12 y o in Sub Juniors, I myself, makes sure that i don't
show favouritism to my daughter, I don't know how that person in you club can
live with herself, and mess it up for the rest of us, genuine coaches who care.
Your club should have a coaches code of conduct, that can be given to this coach
and they need to follow by it and also a grievance procedure to speak with the
coach so that this can be dealt with discretely.
Why is it some coaches just muck it up for the rest of us
Good luck I'm on your side
