It's head doing...I feel your pain brother. I coached soccer for 3 years & ended up quiting because so many parents thought their son was Messi. Took my team from division 6 to division 2 which was massive & the club begged me to stay saying that they want me to stay coaching that team until they become the men's open team as they wanted to build the club around that team & me coaching them but I still said no. Not worth the headaches. I would legit get phone calls during the week from mothers asking if I can play their son striker that week.
I've never used my illness as an excuse for anything but I had to this time, they begged me and I gave in this year and last but fuck that, not worth it.
Just want to be a dad watching his son play, that's all.
The last straw is when the parents started to turn on my son and my 3 other best players, which funnily enough, all finished with the most tries, most goals and were the only 4 that wanted to tackle.
3/4 of my team didn't want to play and were pushed to play by parents trying to live through their kids, the vast majority of training sessions were only the 4 boys I mentioned.
Sorry for the rant but I'm over it big time. Seeing shit ***** like flamingo and Arthur just reminds me of the JRL.
