Dear Meghan,
I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you about a concern I have been having regarding my 8-year-old son. He is a great kid and I enjoy spending time with him, especially while coaching his sports team for the past two seasons. However, we have been facing some challenges when it comes to his behavior during practices.
Despite our conversation before the season started about being respectful and focused during practices, he still tends to act out and be disruptive. It’s frustrating to see him turn into a class clown, not listening, interrupting and trying to be funny for his friends. It seems as if he is a completely different child when I am coaching compared to when someone else is in charge.
I understand that some of his behavior may not be entirely out of character but it seems amplified during practice sessions. He sometimes does drills incorrectly or purposefully slows down which affects not only his progress but also that of the entire team.
I am at a loss on how to address this issue and would greatly appreciate any advice or strategies you may have. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely, [Your Name]
