[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not uncommon on teams to have a parent acting like the team photographer - they seem to get self-esteem from sharing photos of the team with other parents although it is always like 50% of the photos are their own kid.   And they are never taking photos when their kid is not in the game.   Sometimes there are parents vying with each other for this unofficial position and it creates some entertainment [/quote]

I am grateful when someone else with a better camera takes photos and videos. I never have my phone out at the right moments, and would feel weird filming the whole game as though I was trying to put together some kind of highlight reel. The parents on our team who do it tend to be good about getting everyone in the photos/videos, and they get some great shots. It's a travel team so the kids have been playing together longer. We're lucky to have parents who support all the kids not just their own.[/quote]

I'm "that guy" on my kids' teams -- I just enjoy capturing video highlights (especially goals) and sharing them with the rest of the team. I started doing it years ago as a well to remain "zen" during games and not yell too much, and found I actually enjoy it.

I don't watch professional sports, but a highlight reel of a kids team showing them playing with pure passion and love for the game can't be beat in my opinion![/quote]
