[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother was a professional athlete.

Our lives did not revolve around sports.  We all played one travel sport.

He was a phenomenal athlete with lots of natural talent . Nobody told him or forced him to go out back and practice by himself for hours.

Anyone who watched him play early on knew he was special.

Very different from most of the kids I see in this area that the parents swear are superior beings.

My dad did not live vicariously through him.  He would have been the first to pull him off the team when grades dipped or he got in trouble in school.

I am disgusted by the dads I have to listen to on the sidelines at my kids games.  They really do think their suck ass kid is going to get a scholarship.  They should save the $ and time their throwing away in sports and put it towards education.

Watch 'State of Play' --documentary on HBO about how harmful parents are in youth sports.  Don't be that parent.[/quote] Just looked at some YouTube trailers...[/quote]
