Parents are the primary reason I have not gotten into youth coaching


I think I would be a good youth coach in both footballs (American and European), but I don't want to deal with parents who are either trying to relive their athletic youth through their kids, think their child will be the next great superstar in the sport, or think youth sports should operate like it was its own exclusive club.

The primary reason I would enjoy youth over HS is I would prefer teaching the right fundamentals to these kids instead of focusing more on the winning. At the HS level (at least at the Varsity level) it seems to be more about winning and less about making sure the players are using proper fundamentals/techniques.
