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… ;-)
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.’
