[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are the same person. They are living vicariously through their children. The academic version pushes the kid to excel academically, ensuring they spend every waking minute to pursue the goal of: proving mommy or daddy is smart. The athletic parent is trying to prove that they were a good athlete once. [/quote] +1. Both are fed by the same underlying emotion: fear.[/quote] It sounds like there are a lot of posters on here that had bad HS e oeriences rhemselves. There are plenty of well-adjusted, kind and smart student athletes around here. Just as many normal parents as there are freaks. I know which parents to give a wide berth on the sidelines and at school. Keeps me sane. My kids know it's what's inside is that's important. Both school and sports together do a good job of teaching many life lessons. My kids have friends on both ends of the spectrum--some don't play sports, etc. They are well-rounded.[/quote]
