Good lord you must have never gone to a youth soccer game! When I first met my husband he was coaching a U13 boy's team, the behavior I witnessed on the sidelines was deplorable at best. I actually heard one mother tell her son that if he didn't run faster she was going to break his legs.
I bet she didn't.....nothing worse then a parent with a lack of commitment.....That kid will never respect her if she doen't follow through on what she says..../s
My kids aren't at the U13 level yet...so I'm sure I have a lot to forward to...unfortunately.
