Hello all, 

Looking for some help, this is based on me as a parent watching my sons u12 team. I used to coach them, but have moved to my younger sons u9 team, and a new coach has taken over.

The problem I have is he is so aggressive with his in match instructions, and half time end of game talks. He uses words like crap and d'head amongst other things. It's really affecting the boys and they are getting angry and losing respect for him I believe, but just as a parent I don't want him shouting at my son every week, for no reason accept losing or drawing a game of football. They try their best and have great battling spirit, they don't deserve this treatment.

My question is how is it best to approach this with the coach? Who I consider a friend, and is completely different away from coaching.

Any help appreciated
