[quote=Anonymous]Inadequacies in their own lives. Some living vicariously through their kid. Some never were good at sports and overly excited and not realistic about their children’s potential. I find the calmest parents tend to have the better players on both my children's’ teams. The ones with overly invested parents that get too personally involved and ride their kids hard have kids less successful as they move along because the kids stop having fun. You will be hard pressed to find any kids’ sports team without craziness. You just don’t get sucked into it and insulate your kid as much as possible from it. Ultimately, the kid has to want it and it doesn’t matter much what the parents do. But they embarrass their kids with their antics and set a very poor example.[/quote]
