[quote=Anonymous]I have had kids play softball, basketball, and soccer (travel and rec). I've also coached all three. I've also watched friend's kids play football and baseball games. There is little to no difference between these sports and the parents in fact I notice that soccer parents are generally more well-behaved (unless they are from Jersey :-)). There are a lot of great parents and some crazy parents (and coaches). Regardless of the sport the parents want their child to do well at their sport. Some are uber competitive but take it to the next level with grace, some not so much. Parents are invested for the same reason they want a bigger house, better car, better job, nicer clothes, better education, etc. It is our competitive nature as humans. Add love for your child into the mix and you get some crazy behavior. [/quote]
