[quote=Anonymous]These parents are insecure and living through their children. They derive what they perceive as status and an identity from their child being successful. The gaggle of parents they sit with. The assured spot at the A meets at their D1 pool over the summer. Bragging rights and prestige. It becomes who they are. The kids their kid hangs around with because they swim "at that level". They are the parent of a successful swimmer and they rearrange their lives to make this happen. Fill in the blanks with any other sport it's all the same. So who are they without it? Add in a large dose of emotional immaturity and lack of self-awareness and a person is screaming at their kid after the meet.[/quote]
