The parents as their coach is a bad idea. It might be cheap, since you don't have to pay someone, however, the parent would push the child way too much, and stressing the child to be perfect, where a coach would try to motivate them in other ways. The parent as a coach would take away stuff, like not allowing the child to do fun things. Also, the parent would try to relive a dream they had, and the focus would be wrong.

You can't get your bartending license, or a job as a bartender, until you are age 18. So what do you plan to do from age 16 to age 18? You need to have a realistic plan in place, or else when you talk to your parents, there is no way you won't get shot down. So what do you plan to do during those years? Since you'll have a better chance of getting one of the really good bartending jobs if you're polished and have a good look, you may want to start working on that now. Pay attention to things like fashion, and work out so that you're in decent shape. I'm not telling you to go and try to look like a model; but you want to be the best you that you can be. In addition, work on your communication skills. Being able to engage people can be pretty important as a bartender, and certainly will help you find jobs. Finally, if you can get a work permit now (or do this once you're 16), get a part-time job in a *good* restaurant or club, which has a solid bar. You'll probably be a bus-boy or similar, but that's not the point. The point is that you'll gain exposure to a top end restaurant and bar, and that'll be invaluable to your future career. Do this even if you have to stay in school. In fact, talk to your school about their work/study or co-op options. If you have to stay in school, see if there isn't some way you can make it work *for* you. A co-op or work/study, where you go to school in the mornings and then leave and work for the afternoons, might help make the school experience a bit more palatable. In addition, see if you can't focus your classes on your future career - take things like math, business, communications; get involved in things that work the skills you need as a bartender, such as volunteer work that deals directly with people, or the campus radio station, etc. So that if you have to stay in school, at least you're doing something that's related to your future career. If you do decide to drop out, get your GED. Thing is, you probably won't be a bartender when you're aged 55; so having at least a GED can help you get promoted within the bar world.

Would you want your dad to perform open heart surgery on you? Get a professional coach. Contrary to popular belief, virtually every tennis player who has a reputation for having a family coach was taught by other professionals. After they actually learned to play the parents moved in to "manage" them. This includes Venus, Serena, and Sharapova. The Williamses had many, many coaches including Rick Macci. Sharapova trained at the Bolleteri Academy for years. Their parents just take credit for them.

Yes, the Williams Sisters are some other famous professionals whose dad coaches them. One of the tennis players from Thailand that's on the ATP Tour has his dad as his coach. The dad gave up his job as a banker to coach his son full time.

Yes,
your parents can become your coach. Some people like having them be at least, but I cannot find it very much fun. I mean look at Maria Sharapova do you think that her dad stops talking to her about her game after pratice? I doubt it he problaby never stops talking about it. If you do have your parent as a coach make sure that there a line that they cannot cross. Like having a day off to hang out becomes a day of stats. and game planning. Make sure that you are 100% ready to commit to that!

Why not? The tennis coach on our high school girl's team is the father of one of the players, and she is an amazing tennis player! Look at the Williams sisters, their dad was also their coach!
Good Luck! :D

Sure they can.
There are many people who are/were coached by their parents:
Maria Sharapova
Jelena Jankovic
Marat Safin & Dinara Safina
Anna Chakvetadze
Maria Kirilenko
Elena Dementieva
But if your parents aren't that good in coaching, you shouldn't hire them.
