I've been coaching youth soccer for 12 years. The single biggest source of problems I've seen — favoritism, player development issues, team chemistry problems — is parent-coaches who have their own kids on the team. I'm not saying it can't work, but it rarely does. The conflict of interest is too great. Clubs should have a policy against it. Thoughts?
