[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents ruin everything. There is a parent who is literally counting points in a bid to get a plastic high point trophy for their kid. The kid doesn’t get to hang out with the team, parents don’t cheer for anyone and I’ve observed the kid crying on several occasions. Summer swim is for hanging out with friends, doing silly cheers and eating the most disgusting candy they can possibly buy from concessions. [/quote] Don’t have a high point trophy if you don’t want people to care about getting it. It’s a big accomplishment for a kid. [/quote] [b]Yes, for the kid. Not the parent. [/b][/quote] +1 Its great for a kid to have a goal - overly invested parents are the problem. Perhaps they should find a hobby or a masters swim program to focus their energies elsewhere.[/quote]
