It's a hard situation to be in but it can be very rewarding too. My dad coached one of my teams while I was growing up and he paid no more attention to me then the rest of the kids whether at practice or during a game. But the cool part was after the game we could chat about things and it was really rewarding.
Now with my kids I see how hard it was for him to stay detached and just focus on coaching. It's tempting to get over-involved at times but in the end I can see the benefit of letting them have their own team learning experiences.
