[quote=Anonymous]I don’t remember my parents encouraging me at all. But I do remember during sports my teammates dads yelling at us things like “wheels!” And “nice pass!” And that sort of thing. I do think a positive, upbeat energy helps create a dynamic similar to the “home field advantage”. No need to go berserk but I think it’s a better experience for everyone if the parents are positive and engaged and encouraging. I think it’s the negative stuff that really is bad. I remember one dad that wasn’t there for more than a season would yell things at kids, not just his own, that were really rude. He’d yell at the refs, coaches, etc. This was before the notorious hockey dad phenomenon. Keep it positive and encouraging and who cares??[/quote]
