I've done a lot of coaching over the years and, as would be expected, know a lot of other coaches. Almost without exception, it is agreed that coaching your own child is a far greater challenge than coaching other kids. Those who haven't coached - and coached their own kids - might not fully understand the positive influence that non-family mentors can have.
I've found that it's no different in life outside of sports, as I've also managed and mentored many young men (and, yes, some women).
