Wow, you are putting in work! Love it!It’s a definite balancing act.
For me, with the kids of mine who have instructors, I reach out to the instructor and ask them to send me the videos and critiques they make as well as 1 or 2 thoughts they want the kids to remember. This way I can helped convey those thoughts to the kids and never something contrary to what they’re learning. I also tell the parents if they see something, let ME know and I’ll convey the idea to the kids. After all, it takes a village.
For the ones who don’t get lessons, I am essentially their swing coach with a HEAVY focus on fundamentals and course management.
Our coaches are great guys and I completely appreciate all they do but this is another level. Coaching can be such a thankless job and some think you all are glorified babysitters. I'm convinced they have no clue.
I mentioned this thread to my son who would lose his mind if I tried to coach him on the course (as he should) and he just shook his head.
