Afterwards we talk about the game but mostly in general terms. My kids usually pipe up about what happened, especially if the other team was fouling too much or talking trash or there were weird calls.
I see so many majorly negative coaches, especially on the girls side and I am not sure why. They usually give a majorly negative speech at half time and after the game. The girls tend to discount it after a while. It wouldn't help to have an additional negative drive home. Your kids do have to develop a thick skin though.
The only thing I would directly criticize, which thankfully has never happened, is effort. And I am not sure if the drive home would be the place for that.
So many parents coach from the sidelines that it almost makes me laugh. Thankfully some clubs and coaches have put their foot down and told them to shut up.
