"For some reason, adults - some who can't even kick a ball - think it's perfectly okay to scream at children while they're playing soccer. How normal would it seem if a mother gave a six-year-old some crayons and a coloring book and started screaming? "Use the red crayon! Stay in the lines! Don't use yellow!"
You think that child would develop a passion for drawing? Most important, parents must realize that playing sports is a way for children to express themselves."

Although I haven't always been teh "right" kind of parent, I was never mean and I thought that what I was doing was encouraging. However, over the last few seasons since my daughter started playing CBFC, and now my son, I have learned that the coaches know more than I and ultimately those kids know what they are doing out there, and most importantly, it is a MUCH different picture when you are the one on the field and not the sidelines! Thanks for posting this as a reminder to everyone!!!
