But if the kids want to and take it on themselves without the coaches, why would I as a dad get in the way of my kid doing what he loves? I don't and never have forced him to do anything in football. I've always asked what he wanted to do and from there and his decision all I do is encourage. I learned years ago I'm just there to be dad and encourage. Coaches can get on em. Not my job when it comes to football.

It would be great if all dads had this mentality.

Thank you for having this approach.
