To be honest, that's heard constantly. Because they played, they think they know how to lead. Unfortunately, that's not the case. They're really good at the technical and the tactical side of the sport, but even applying that to particular age groups effectively is where there may be a gap in understanding. Linking child development and the stages of adolescent development to the actual coaching experience and the administrative experience is where I think the gap in understanding is missing. How to teach a 12-year-old a sport is not the same as how you would teach a 15-year-old or an 18-year-old who is exiting the sport.
A lot of professionalization of the sport is happening to children. There are not many pros, and there are not many adults. The lens that they're looking through has to be much more age appropriate at every age group.
