that.

But also it sort of highlighted to me that there was a possibility of maybe trying to get involved and it might be a good opportunity, a good environment to learn more in.

So I had a chat with the guy who's running it, Frank Banks, who played for Hull City and I think he's one of their... sort of held in high esteem as one of their best players ever at Hull City.

And his claim to fame was sort of playing against George Best and Bobby Charlton against Man United, which he never stopped telling us about.

And that's fair enough as well.

Good claim to fame.

Yeah, so anyway, long story short on this part of my sort of journey, I said to him, you know, any chance of helping out, coming down, you know, putting some cones out and normal stuff.

You've got to be careful now, mate, because we've got this far out.

Gary, if you don't mind, should generalize view of what you think maybe the role of parents should be.

Yeah, I'll just reframe it a little bit, really.

And I don't think that any coach or parent starting off with a grassroots experience of any sport knows what their role is.

And that's learned over many years.

And one of the things we used to cover was... about parent meetings, holding parent meetings so that all these things could be discussed because the parents are very valuable partner within the relationship.

And the reason for that is we should both be doing it for the benefit of the kids so that the kids have a great, fun, enjoyable learning experience.

Now, unless we know what our roles are as a coach or a parent, how will we know how we should behave? So I think the most important thing is have that sort of parent-coach-club relationship, sorry, meeting to sort of pad out what our relationships are, what our intentions are as the coach for their children, their little angel or their little soldier.

Having said about that, how do you go about approaching the kick-off of the season with regards to parents? Do you follow a similar approach in the sense you might document something out, have a parents' meeting? Do you do anything different to get your points across? Gary, what would you do?
