parent – coach – athlete relationship
I find many coaches — especially young coaches — not particularly skilled at dealing with the parents of their athletes.
Progress is much easier when parents are 100% on board your training plan.
You could forward Makenna’s post on the role of the sport parent:

As a follow-up, three books are recommended for parents:
(1) Positive Sports Parenting – quick read and easy application.
(2) Changing the Game – thorough and action oriented.
(3) How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk – advice and assignments that apply not just to sports but parent-child communication in general.

4 Tkachevs? That’s too many. FIG MTC has been successful in decreasing the number of ugly Rybalko skills, but the rules should encourage a variety of different releases.

parent, coach, athlete triad
Many coaches are not good dealing with parents. Especially young coaches.
Education of sport parents is key. They need to know their role.
It’s much easier to coach when parents are supportive.
