Today was my 10 year old’s last day of elementary. His very last day. Wasn’t it just a few minutes ago I dropped him off for the first day of kindergarten? No, I guess not. I just came home from the school’s celebration assembly. He performed a music piece with some other children, he received a certificate of completion from his awesome teacher and he even won a school pride draw prize.

But I noticed something and when I couldn’t sleep I started doing some surfing on the topic. I wondered, are there a lot of mom coaches out there in youth sports?
