Hey everyone,
So I am a young coach only being 20. I have been cheering since I was around 10 years old. I have been coaching since I was 17. You know the drill started out doing tumbling classes, then helping the minis while I was on the senior team in my gym. I started coaching a middle school team and coaching allstars teams. I have had some trouble getting respect and getting my older girls like ages 13 and older to take me seriously or listen when I ask them to do something. I don't want to come off as the mean coach that nobody can get close to but I want to learn how to draw the line when it comes to coaching. Can anybody share some experiences and ways they fixed this problem if it happened to them?
