I quit basketball at a very young age because of this. I have a vivid memory of making a 3 pointer one game and being chastised by my coach for not passing the ball to his son.
I played on a soccer team when i was a kid, early in my time with the team the coach started screaming at the goal keeper to the point where he started crying, the coach then said "Stop crying and run a lap you baby", when he got back i walked up to him and said "Don't let him talk to you like that, go and tell your parents whats just happened" he looked at me still with tears in his eyes and said "Coach is my dad". For the next 2 years i was with that team the coach was always extremely harsh on his son, even stopped letting him take goal kicks and had me take them because he, in the words of his dad, "kicked like a girl".
That’s just how it is on a team, it doesn’t matter who’s child you are if you suck you’re going to get yelled at and you are going to get punished because if you don’t you’ll bring your whole team down with your mistakes
@@biggesttwigest7684chances are he didn’t suck tho. One of the best girls on my softball team was the coach’s daughter and she was constantly yelled at. And even if he was terrible, yelling to the point he cried, that’s like verbal abuse. He won’t get better by being screamed at. The coach was just being a terrible father
My dad was my coach in rec when I was little and then middle and high school. Me was so much harder on me and my sister than anyone else. There was absolutely no favoritism, if he thought we were doing bad he would pull us out and he took us out more than anyone else because he held us to a higher standard
My high school basketball and football coaches was just like this. They didn't care who was good or not. They had favorites and played nobody but their favorites. Even after i showed up the top wr in my first team practice
I play softball, and last year this happened to me, coach kept putting his daughter on first base, and me in outfield for two games, when I’m better at first base than her.
Thankfully my dad who was my coach for baseball wasn’t like this, I was a decent player but never was going to go pro, he played every one based on what position they played best, not based on friendship with parents, I usually played 3rd even though I liked 2nd better, while we never won a championship, we did compete in 2 high school championships. This is basically a long winded example for parents to not sacrifice a team so your kid can play more
I remember being in choir and the choir teacher was a basketball coach for girls. He favored the girls that where on the team over us that weren't, in choir. And he really favored the daughters of the superintendent. They were awesome ladies (definitely not entitled). But they did get favored a lot.
My dad is either the manager or the coach (99% sure it’s coach) of my little brother’s soccer team. He doesn’t often take my little brother off the field but is willing from time to time. This is because he’s the goalkeeper, and I don’t believe that the team have many, if any, backups who come close to my brother’s skill. If my little brother needs to have a break from the field, my dad would be willing to sub him out, but it doesn’t happen often due to his role of goalkeeper.
I'd either take the issue to the principle or if the principle does nothing to the schoolboard, as I'm pretty sure there's regulations that forbid benching for more them a game or two (depends on the state and city but that's how it was when I was school)
Yes I have a friend who his dad is the coach they literally run the offense through him 😭💀 and that’s why nobody wants to play for the coach and most of them don’t play basketball anymore
Had a couch like this when i played soccer, I played goalie but since her son also did i didn’t get to play it at all that season, she even said one game that if i ran the entire time i was on field she would put me in second half and i ran the entire time and she didn’t put me in goal
Yes my brother was playing in a baseball tournament and the coaches had there son on the team and they always put him in and my brother plays all the same positions that their son plays and is better he only played 1 inning with them the entire tournament and when they needed someone to play 2nd,Short,Pitcher and catcher my brother said he played them all but they decided not to put him in and put some one way worse saying that my brother was not a very good player. My mom gave them hell and we left and now when he plays against them (they are on different teams in regular season) they shout nasty thing whenever he is up to bat and is pitching. they literally said and I quote "THE PITCHER SHOULD BE IN COACH PITCH HE IS PICHING REALLY SLOW!!!" then my brother struck their son out and so my mom yelled "YA TO SOW TO HIT I QUESS!!!!" and then my friend walked past their son and said "the pitcher is pitching really slow isn't he?" and their son said "I KNOW BRO!!!!" then just as me and my friend started to walk away my friend turns around and says "SIKE SAYS THE ONE WHO GOT STRUCK OUT!!!" my mom was very happy with him and in the end my brothers team ended up beating them really badly. When my mom asked in the tournament why he wasn't playing and that she felt they were giving their son more playing time they said and I quote "Well.. to be honest Lorna (my Moms name) that's why we became coaches to make sure he got playing time and Reef (my brothers name) isn't as good as Caleb (their sons name)." My mom was outraged by this and the assistant coach was sorry because he new my brother was very good and didn't understand why he wasn't playing so I say yeah some coaches are very much like that and they have done such awful stuff that we wouldn't care if they all D*ID in a car accident that's how awful they are!!!! No offense to anyone who is a baseball player and ur parents are ur coaches I'm sure ur parents aren't like this but these one were.
Plot Twist: The son doesn't even want to play basketball and is actively trying to get kicked off the team to pursue something else but the coach keeps pulling strings to let him stay despite the son not wanting to. (I've experienced a variant of this first hand with my own dad who I cut contact with)
Yes I quite literally was in a baseball team in middle school/ elementary school and in both teams this coach I had always let his daughter play but would be very overprotective if even one of us went to go talk to her or play
I played ice hockey and the coach's son played but his dad was harder on him than anyone. It's not a sport like basketball but he never played his son over a better player.
I had this in football he fumbled actually 12 times and made no points before they took him out to put me in I ran a 50 yard play up the middle first play then came out and he went back in. Shit was sad
Yes especially in football one time my sub teacher was a man and his son was playing flag football with us and he was my coach of my team so he subbed out my friend for his son and my friend didn’t get another minute.
Yeah I'm a goalkeeper and their coach wanted to put their son in the first team and he was really bad so I left and now I'm beat them consistently and easily and never let goals in and I'm the best goalie in the league
Coaches shouldn't be allowed to have their own kid on the team for this reason, and the fact that the kid will learn to think that hes better than everyone else since his hads the coach
I know everyone in the common section here is a basketball player so I need some advice. In basketball I’m really good at dribbling and making layups, but I always struggle with longshot. Do you have any practices that could help me make them?
I was actually in this position before. The kid was very bad and I was actually pretty good. I was on the bench for the entire season which was so stupid. I am not trying to make myself look good but I felt like I deserved to start.
For me, I'm in football rn and the coaches son's a qb. I'm the oldest, fastest, and overall the best on my team, but I got put in the dumbest positions while the son of my coach is a qb that can't throw the ball far to make an accurate pass.
That’s what happens to me in a championship game for baseball and he always plays left field even thought there are better player then him. Yet all season he missed fly balls and grounders. In the championship when the ball came to him he didn’t catch it and the other team won.
I had 3 coaches last year all three of their sons tried out for the team who didn’t make it but besides basketball every other year I’ve had coach show favoritism to the son in other sports
My schools coach was so biased and spent way more time on the girls with the right family names. Like for once can you give us some time because if you weren’t going to work with us why don’t you want us at practice
Enter the Karen, she wears a ring for every basketball season she "carried her team" to championship. She sees her son on the bench in favor of coach's boy. Everyone within four feet of her can feel the warmth of her burning rage. What do you do?
