Waterford District High School
Parents play a crucial role in supporting their child's athletic endeavors, and understanding the role of the high school sports coach is essential for a positive and successful experience. Coaches are volunteers who serve as mentors, motivators, and skill developers, playing a pivotal role in shaping a student-athlete's character and work ethic. It is important for parents and players to approach coaches with respect, recognizing the dedication and expertise they bring to the team. Open communication is key, but it's equally important to trust the coach's judgment and avoid confrontation. If you have a concern please reach out to the coach by email or phone the following day. To help your child become an effective team member, parents should encourage your child to develop a strong work ethic by attending practices and giving 100%, showing resilience in the face of challenges, and respecting teammates and opponents alike. Emphasizing the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship will contribute to a positive and enriching sports experience for your child, fostering personal growth both on and off the field.
