[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Manipulative parents: they are usually are managers and on the Board.  Their kids are usually nowhere near the best.  They resort to drastic measures to try to move them ahead.

It's life.  It's pathetic. Sit back and enjoy watching your kid play.  The manipulative parents are usually over-invested and living vicariously through their kids who they push, push, push until the kid really doesn't even enjoy being out on the field.

Seen this story a 1,000 times in my life.[/quote]

I'm shocked by the time, money and stress these types of parents are pushing into their families lives.  It's also shocking that many of the kids are not very good athletes.  Soccer is so hard and demanding...and they really have no idea the level of speed, strength, skill and desire a kid needs to have to be good, let alone great.  They just keep pushing and pushing for something that is not there...but every once in a blue moon the kids do something good and the parents race to social media to announce their success and unique superiority.[/quote]
