1 Way to Improve Parent and Coach Communication
Do you want to improve the parent coach communication on your hockey team? At the beginning of the season implement a “24 Hour Rule.” This rule states that parents wait 24 hours after a game before talking to the coach, player or official.
It will give you the parents the perspective they need. Youth sports can be an emotional experience. For parents, it is important to separate their kid’s sports development from game emotions. For this reason, many leagues and coaches have adopted the “24 Hour Rule” which simply states that coaches will not discuss a game or situation until at least 24 hours after the fact. This important rule does two things: First, it moves the discussion away from the presence of the team. Second, it allows all parties to have time to put things in perspective.
