- Look up “out-of-control parent on sidelines” online and you’ll find hundreds of videos and stories of parental misbehavior at youth sports events. Here's some advice for parents who want to be supportive without going viral.
"way to go Paul"
😂
This is really great. Kids put enough pressure on themselves even at an entry level of sports that they don't need the added pressure of parental expectations.
"...approached the coach with positive intentions to discuss the rough play on the ice ..."
*smashes 5x5 glass pane with fist*
I would title this one "how to be a great sports parent" instead of what not to be. Motivate parents to read this because it will help them honor the game and support their kids in the sports they love.
The worst parent's look like they've never exercised in their life lol
Man this is true, or "back in my day"
This was great. I coach junior pee wee football. Her philosophy is just like mine. I give my parents a similar run down about their behavior and expectations for their kids before every season as well as what my coaching philosophy is. They really appreciate it and it brings our parents together as part of the team as well.
Dude you have the patience of a saint I remember what it was like for me and if I would even get a wiff of that type of parent I would not give them the grace of explaining anything
With all good intentions he went down to confront the coach? He just smashed the glass
Thank You
I have never seen an emotional parent, approach a coach during a game “with all good intentions”. Who are you trying to kid???
Wait, you can’t ask your kid how they did in their game? Sure, they may have had a bad game. They may have made big mistakes. The reaction as a parent is to encourage THEM to not focus on those negatives for the next time. Talking out the errors with them lets them analyze their performance as you guide them through it in a positive way. To let a child know that bad games will happen and that is ok, that’s why we can ask our kids “How was the game? How did you do?” It’s because we aren’t going to beat them up about it and not let them beat themselves up either.
When that parent broke that glass 😲
Your first and really your ONLY question SHOULD be, “Did you have fun today?” If it isn’t, you’re missing the entire point.
Yeah... the guy was approaching with good intentions..right..
way to go paul
Fix the captioning on this video
Terrible that a grown man or woman needs to watch this kind of video. Society has turned selfishly nuts .
'My kids are the best' mentality runs with these parents
Nice
Noice
Sports are so great for kids development - no its not
So bad
This stupid y do u not want your parent to push u cause that just means she wants u to have a better life then they do they will push to get that college degree go play baseball do everything that they want u to do
if they knew the chances of their kids ever getting close to being considered for a professional team,they wouldn't push. life doesn't care how hard you push for a better one.
This does not work when you get to a certain level of play. Some kids want to be pushed and win. This video for the times where everyone gets a trophy.
absolutely not true. just like a player who would cheat to win, the out of control coach or parent who thinks they are pushing their kids to victory are actually stripping that player of the abilities they need most when self determination and perseverance must kick in. I've coached at the highest level of my sport for over 20 years and I can tell you, the kids with parents who have the belief like yours, most often do not succeed. Those who rarely do, are completely devoid of joy and spend their careers in misery.
Maybe, but there's no need for a parent to go berserk over a game that is being played by 8 year olds.
The kids are barely 12,they could quit even before getting to high school level lol
