My coach makes me feel uncomfortable

Hello everyone, I know there are lots of questions on here about his sort of thing but I have no parents or siblings and my guardian is barley home so I have no one to ask but you :)

I have this weird feeling about my soccer coach. I know I am not as good of a player as another girl on the team who is a total BEAST! She's awesome but he tends to compliment me like I'm pro or something. And once when I left practice he practically ran to catch up with me and tell me how good I was. Maybe it's all in my head. I know that I am a natural athlete and stuff like that so maybe he sees this, but he intimidates me a lot (because of his tattoos, but he's REALLY nice.) He's always standing near me but he never looks at me when he talks, he stares super hard at some other girls shoes or some thing else and I wonder why. He stands way too close and makes excuses to touch me, like "Good Job today ladies," and then he'll slap me hard on the shoulder, or try to hit my side. He only teaches girls sports, too. I'm in soccer and when we sit in the shade he'll stand too close to me then talk to the team about his wife and kids. I don't know if this is normal or not, maybe it's a coach thing, or a sports thing? Coming in contact so much? Well, thanks guys!

BTW, I am 16 and he is old. Probably 40's.

It's very hard to be the judge in this situation.

The Coach could either feel that he has to motivate you or encourage you because he wants you to be better than the rest.

Have you also thought that maybe he wants to be a father figure in your life since you sadly don't have them?

OR..

He is perverted and is attracted to young girls.

Coaches are supposed to have good relationships with their team, maybe he just wants you to not to feel so alone?

Regarding the touching thing...i would try and move my body so he gets the non verbal message of "don't touch me". And regarding the looking on the floor while talking. Does he do it only with you or with other girls? Next time try to catch his eye and see if he gets intimidated.
