The coolest parents are really just that ... cool. Not too many ruffled feathers to get in the way of watching their kids play.
I have laughed with, chatted among and observed some quite interesting parents in hundreds of games the past decade. But today for some reason, it really made an impression on me the importance of training children to be good citizens. Simple as that.
If they are argumentative on the field, disrespectful on the field that is one thing. If the parents encourage that behavior ... well that is scary to me. You've all seen this before if you are reading this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't we promote some good stuff instead of the negative vibes? Yelling at players on the fields from the sidelines is just so sad. My daughter came home upset from her game where the other team's parents were calling her names. Really? How old are we?
Just sayin'...
Breed love not hate :)
