Have had to threaten this already. And also told her that the vehicle she is driving is still mine so make sure you think this thru before you make some stupid decisions.

Man, what TD thread this is. Such a range of thought. There is a
some absolutely amazing advice for dealing with teenagers in here, and some other folks directly calling the kids coach a pedophile just because he has to communicate with his team in the cell phone age even after the dad said it was a group message and he sees every text the kid gets.
Never Change TD, Never Change. Oh how I love this place.

I get the Snapchat, Insta, Discord and other DM stuff he can't get, but the man said he has her texts sent to his phone as well.
Look don't get me wrong, I've been teaching and coaching teenagers for 14 years at this point. The current phone technology is the absolute devil and causing so many problems for these kids, but 99% of coaches have to use it, cause kids can't retain shite you told them 5 minutes ago cause their head is buried in 20 apps on that phone the second practice ends, and the way those coaches use it is 1000% safe and harmless.

For real.
Kids can be raising hell but if the wife is in my corner I can smile through it all.
OP should have said his wife is driving him crazy and his kid isn't helping.

He's fed up and took his daughter's phone and is getting shite from his daughter, wife, and ?daughter's coaches. BTW he may have Low T but what exactly has he done to demonstrate that to a tough guy like you?

She’s a 15 year old girl. They are upset about everything. I was raised with two sisters. Total pain in the arse.

Not accusing you of this specifically, but it’s got to be on parents radars these days. I’m sorry, but no communication from their coaches should be kept from the kids parents, and that’s very active now.

Real men have sons.
He replied, "What made you decide to have me mow today when I've made plans."
I responded, "My expectations for you moving forward is that you will mow and/or rake leaves every week. The day of choosing when to do it is now yours to decide. Good. Now you don't have to ever question my motives again."
That's how you handle a little bit of insurrection.

I'm perfectly fine with it being on parents radars, you're right that it should be. It will be on mine with my kids later on, but I know 40+ high school coaches closely. They all communicate with their teams via some version of a groupme message to get important info out fast and have a record of such if needed and all of them allow any parent that wants to in the message.
Also, in this specific case, the dad came back and said zero information or communication between the coaches and his kid was being withheld. It was just a concern his wife had

Most high school coaches LOVE to find ways and reasons to run kids.
Tell coach you are having issues with her attitude and coach will run her every day until it straightens up
I like this. PT is an excellent punishment.
Tell her if she's not gonna be smart then at least she'll be strong.

Tell the wife to get on board or go it alone. I’ve been married for 4 decades, raised a couple daughters of my own.
Kids will play you off against each other, I was the easy target for one of my kids, and my wife told me plain to work together on this or else. She was right.
Get the wife on board first, then tell daughter she can fall in line or these are the consequences.
No phone
No car, ride the bus or you drop her at school and pick her up
No extracurricular activities. No sports, no clubs, and damn sure no dates.
It’ll be hell for a month or two. But sooner or later she’ll figure out being bitchy isn’t an acceptable option.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't agree with the posts saying pull her out of the sport. If anything, sport offers a form of accountability and rigidity that it sounds like she needs. Keep her in the sport but like someone else said, coach's communication can come through you until she gets her act together. And you and the wife need to be on the same page. No division between you two before you tackle the daughter's issue.

Kids have existed without a personal cell phone longer throughout history, then it has been common for them to have one.
She will be fine and your wife needs to understand it is just a damned cell phone and unless her school is 2-hours away, she will be fine.

Glad to know I’m not the only one around here that tells kids bedroom doors are a privilege. Slam it and I take it.
My kids’ door have been off and back on multiple times.
