[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent of two very athletic children that were the biggest kids in their sport. They were constantly called out by parents. The message I would give your daughter is they are calling you out because you are good. If you sucked, no one would be heckling you. I think it's wrong and shocking, but on the other hand, it's not getting any better and it's the sports culture. It will get worse, WAY WORSE, the older she gets. So either figure out coping strategies for her and hopefully it will make her thrive. If it doesn't, she's probably not cut out for a serious competitive athletic career. One thing my DH has done before is he goes and sits right next to the parent(s) doing the heckling. Even if it's the opposing team's side. And then he makes it abundantly clear he is the parent of heckled child by being very vocal himself. Most people will be shamed into shutting up in that situation.[/quote]
