@anotherparent posted:So, I disagree that a parent can't talk to a travel coach. In fact, most would agree that that's the only kind of coach a parent CAN talk to. For college recruiting, you need to be talking to him.
But, you absolutely can't be "telling" the coach things. You should entirely be ASKING him things. ASK him what kind of colleges your son should be targeting. Don't argue with him, if you don't like what he says, go find someone else to ask (and if he says that your son is short and slow and not D1, he may know what he's talking about). ASK him what the team's plan is for getting your son in front of the right coaches. ASK him what your son needs to do to become better.
i call my son's coach all the time. he has a line on some really good quality california red oak chunks that makes for fantastic brisket and short ribs.
