The Parent-Coach Playbook reports on the part of youth sports nobody talks about. The 12 minutes in the car before practice. The two hours on the field. The 90 seconds after the game.
Most parent-coaches obsess over the middle of the day. The line-up card. The play call. The film from last Saturday. The middle is the smallest part of the relationship.
The relationship is built on the bookends. The drive there sets the temperature. The drive home decides what the next week looks like in the house.
This is a publication for the parents who want to coach the team and keep the kid. Both jobs at once. No shortcuts.
The brand is run by Jeff Thomas, a college football coach and a parent who has watched two kids move through youth sports, theater, and music programs. Cornerstone essays carry his byline. Field reporting and weekly issues are filed under PCP Editors.
This is a separate business from Jeff Thomas's work at coachjeffthomas.com. The two sites do not share an audience and do not cross-promote.
