Question: Are coaches kids pre-disposed to be better than those of non coaches?

Ok, I have question for yall. Do you all think that coaches kids are pre-destined to be better than those of a non coach. This all started from a conversation my friend and I were having. We were watching one of the spring flag football games and just observing the players. There were some that were average, below average, and one or two superstars. The one or two superstars were the kids of the coaches and it was clear that they were on a different level than the other kids. I yelled, "I knew it!", and we laughed. My buddy thinks that coaches' kids get preferential treatment and I sort of agree but only to a point. I was telling him that coaches' kids have more of an advantage simply because they live with the coach and are always immersed in sports at home. It's in our blood and it bleeds over. Our lives are just one really long practice...LOL.


Example: My son (age 8) is the QB of my team and has a very high football IQ. He knows the entire playbook and can execute it flawlessly. In fact he helped make some of it up. I was initially worried about the other parents claiming he was getting preferential treatment but all that ended once they saw him play. 


So I wanted to throw it out there to yall. Do you think that coaches kids are that much better or do they get preferential treatment? Would love to hear you comments on this one.
