Coaching a bipolar athlete. I thought if she took her medication things would be fine. NO, I am learning about mood swings. HELP!

Personally I would treat her like anyone else on the team. Stick to boundaries and what is acceptable and what’s not and let it be known that there will be no special treatment for anyone. It may be more of an issue that she can get away with things others can’t so she does it. If you can be more specific of the issues, we might be able to give better advice.

Yeah I agree. I'm a teacher and have had students with ADHD and emotional issues. I expect the same things out of them as I do the others. They are not allowed to misbehave and they must do their work. If she's giving you trouble, talk to her parents about it.
