A youth baseball coach revealed his number one red flag when it comes to parents and some advice on how to not be “that parent.”
? Parents heckle umpires to the point where they quit during the middle of a game. They get into fights with other parents. They scream at their kids from the stands. These kids are five or six years old, barely understanding how to play the sport, and yet, parents are taking things astronomically seriously.From a coach's perspective, all of this behavior ruins the purpose of getting kids involved in youth sports.
He continued: “This is typically a recipe for disaster because we know that this kid is up there trying to appease their parents, trying to do good by them instead of just being out there having fun, playing baseball, learning to fail, and how to recover from it without their parents being in their ears.”
When parents behaved well — applauding good play, encouraging players, and enjoying the game — their child was more likely to project positive behavior.
