No. I think you are correct in your assertion most coaches are parents. I guess for me, I was coaching top talent levels from time to time so they wanted unrelated volunteers. That comes with its own pitfalls.
For my last two years of coaching I actually brought back former players from U-18 teams.
Instead of doing the drills and such they got to learn from me and learn to run them, they're still coaches right now.
