What do parents really want from coaches?

In this episode of the Coach Chijo Podcast, Coach Chijo sits down with Dina Snook, former volleyball player, volleyball parent, and Coach Chijo Operations Manager, to discuss the coach-parent-player relationship from a perspective many coaches rarely hear.

  • Why players shouldn't compete in fear
  • Understanding different athlete personalities
  • How parents and coaches can work together
  • Why communication builds trust
  • Open practices vs. closed practices
  • When athletes want to quit and how parents should respond
  • Creating a better experience for players and families

Whether you're a coach, parent, or athlete, this conversation offers valuable insight into building healthier team environments and helping players reach their potential.
