I would actually suggest having your father be your coach. It will be very difficult for you by yourself to make everything go right and you will probably need the extra hand at some point. If your father is the coach he will have access to help you if something goes wrong ON the field and it will be much easier for him to get between the stadium and the pits accompanying you.

hope this helps
