As a sports parent or coach it’s your job to understand anger management. Anger erupts too often on the field and can carry over into aggressiveness at school and at home.
This comes direct from Joe Bouffard, Director of the Youth Football Coaches Association, a group that educates coaches about how to handle anger in youth sports.
First of all, coaches need to understand why kids get angry, he says, That means asking their athletes the right questions. Parents can help with this process by informing coaches about their own kids’ “triggers and background.”
