[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the bottom line here, though I think you make a lot of good observations. I think a lot of parents fit this description. But not all. And my experience has been that the kids are more competitive with each other than the parents are among themselves. But what I have noticed is that there is a tipping point where a sufficient number of first-class jerks can adversely affect all of this, both among parents and players. And I think that threshold gets lower over time because parents think there is more at stake.

Academics are even worse, so I don’t think these are dynamics unique to soccer. You just observe them more directly and frequently. And basketball is far worse.

Agreed. We have a parent whose kid was promoted to a top boys team in mls next this year and the guy is an absolute nightmare, constantly pushing for playing time though his kid has no technical skill or coordination. It is painful to listen to this guy’s crap, just kills what used to be a relatively pleasant experience for the rest of us. [/quote]
