I think the biggest part of the player going to the coach instead of the parents doing it for them is building confidence in the player. If the player sees something they don't like or the coach is telling them something they don't understand most players just nod yes and go right back to doing what they were doing. Most of us have to work with our DD's to get them to approach an authority figure to ask questions. My DD is growing out of that because I will not talk to the coach/teacher's for her. She has come up to me multiple times asking why do we do it this way instead of this way, and I all I tell her is if she wants to know she needs to ask her coach (I think the coach is an idiot and no I do not share that thought with DD).
Just a side note here but I think one of the biggest challenges facing parents of little girls is teaching them to stand up for themselves. That is why I am so glad that mine has dove into sports the way she has.
