It most certainly all stems from poor parenting behaviors. I have to ensure we have enough social activities for all the kids, so they don't form cliques.
But the parents are way too invested in it these days. It's a far cry from the 80's when all parents just dropped off the kids at practice, they never stayed and only came to the games. I think my own dad only ever watched 2 games my whole life! I had a ton of fun playing soccer as my own parents never got into my business or put pressure on me. I enjoyed it so much, I still play for fun as an adult. That would be the best outcome for most children.
yea buuuuuut its a team sport. No issues opening my DCs eyes to crappy teammates or just a team thats not good. Time is of the essence. Some teams are happy cutting their noses off to spite their faces. Mostly by parents joysticking… so we not only trash the players but let DC know who is sideline coaching.
Because i want DC to make their minds up w all the facts come tryouts……..
Also shoutout to the coaches that bring in inferior talent that they prefer over existing talent for a losing season.
You also rock!!!!!!!!
