Maria is a kid who sees things her own way- and expects the world to see it her own way too! Her friend Joey is more practical. He helps keep her grounded, though that’s as easy as handling a Thanksgiving balloon in a hurricane. Sue is special and she knows it- better than anyone. She’s writing her autobiography now, but she’ll live it later. Bob takes things slower. Ms. Payne is their teacher- she enjoys her job, she truly does. She’d enjoy it even more without the students.

You’re a good coach then, Dad, because there are many parent-coaches who do show favoritism. Sorry, Maria, your parents seem to have a lot of sense. Sucks for you… ;-)

The worst thing about children’s sports today are the parents on the sidelines who take the games way too seriously.

A lot of pride and ego gets wrapped up in kids’ sports. Not on the part of the kids, but the parents who see their kids as extensions of themselves- of their own mark upon the world. Their kid’s win is their own win, and their kid’s defeat is humiliating. It should be just a game, but it’s hard for people to ‘check their egos at the door.’
