I never read anything positive about youth sports nowadays. Why are parents so obsessive and weird about your kids playing baseball? None of them are ever going to make it anyway.
Just have fun. |

I've been both a coach and a parent/fan. My perspective is : if you don't like how the coach handles things, get your own team and coach your kid. Put all the time in for practices/games/administration of schedules/dealing with parents and then get upset. Until then, appreciate that someone cares enough to spend time with your kid.

It's not just baseball. Parents want to live vicariously through their children. It's desperate and pathetic. I've helped out with a few junior golf tournaments, and the wailing and gnashing of teeth over a few ****ed up golf shots by 12 year olds is appalling.

And after a bad call was made EVERYONE knew the call was wrong. Coaches, players (on both teams), and parents in the stands. That was part of the learning experience. Knowing that not everytime in life things turn out the way you want them or even fairly. These dads that curse and attack referees, other parents, and other kids are setting such a horrible example for their kids. Most of the kids of these psychos know it too. But what can they do? Nothing will ever be as bad as this though, |
