[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crazy parents living vicariously through their kids is one of the most irritating, annoying things about youth sports.  Support your kids, encourage them, mentor them!  But please do it for them, not yourself.[/quote]
People who blurt out that parents are living vicariously through their kids is actually one of the most irritating and annoying things about youth sports.  How many people do you honestly know that push their kid along and it's NOT for the the good of the kid? Like the kid hates practice and games but the parent threatens them to keep playing so they can tell others that their kid did this and that. People push their kids because they have high expectations.  They want their kid to grind and learn those lessons.  I can honestly say that a parent has never came up to me and bragged about their kid.  Believe me that I know psycho soccer parents...I know parents who scream at their kid on the field.  I know parents who made their kids run laps after games because they felt they didn't play hard enough.  I know a parent who made their kid run through about 2 feet of snow after practice (part of the field was clear) because he felt they didn't train hard enough. I've seen countless parents make their kids cry after and DURING games.  However, never do I think it's because the parent is living vicariously through the kid.[/quote]
