Coach’s Kid Syndrome

Coach’s Kid Syndrome is where the child of a team coach is on the same team and everyone treats them as if they were another coach. Asking practice times, game times, what to wear, what to bring, how to do something etc. instead of asking the real coach. It leads to the child being expectant of people asking things, constantly reminding people, instructing/ordering people around, and over explaining things.

“Why is Penny always telling us what to do? She isn’t the coach.”

“It’s not her fault, she has Coach’s Kid Syndrome.”
