This year I'm helping a friend coach a women's hockey team (18+), and one of the players has caught my attention during the short amount of time that we have spent together as a team. She clearly has feelings for me as well. In all the years that I've coached, this has never been an issue before, or maybe I've been oblivious before because this is the oldest age group that I have ever coached. I'm torn between my duties as a coach as well as an authority figure over the players and wanting to start a relationship with this particular player.
I would ideally like to use the members of this forum to be a sounding board so that I can gauge your responses to help guide me through this decision.
