[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of 2 kids active in sports, one in middle school, I can assure you that yelling from the sidelines will not have a positive outcome on your child's performance.  Just remind yourself of that during the game.  Why be obnoxious if nothing good is going to come of it?[/quote]even the 'positive' yelling?[/quote]

I think positive cheering is fine.  I mean who doesnt cheer during a sporting event and multiply it when you know you are watching your own kid.  I have a learned to bite my lip over the years and not yell instructions,  make my own calls, or call out the ref for bad calls .  My cheering is limited to "Win the ball back" and "Good Job" after a good play and some clapping/cheering during a goal or almost goal (or score).  You are there to enjoy the game, I disregard those comments of people telling you to be a mute because it is supposed to be fun.  All of this within reason of course.  And I do agree to not analyze the game afterward.  Give you kid some congrats for playing hard (hopefullyt they did) and that you enjoyed the game.  I usually leave it at that.  After a loss, my kid is usually silent then back to normal after a bit.  After a win he talks about the scores and the "could you believe that" comments".  My feedback.[/quote]
