[quote=Anonymous]I used to coach youth sports. ES and MS level. Your letter reminds me of one girl I coached. She would hustle, she played great. Not all-star great, but was a positive element on the team. When her mom would be there, the mom would berate her for anything that went wrong, including things I told her to do. The net result was when her mom was there, she tensed up. She did not play well. When her mom missed the game, she was good. She made decent contact with the ball and was a solid defender. Her mom saw her as no good. She quit the sport. I tried to talk to her (kid), but her mom would not let me. I had my daughter talk to her at school. Girl was tired of the criticism.[/quote]
