re: High school football coach resigns after parents try to influence playing time

There was a mom on one of my soccer teams that knew the sport pretty well and was supportive of all the other kids. She would even give constructive advice to us.

But she spent half of every game shouting at her son and pointing out everything he was doing wrong.

It was a very good team, with a couple of guys who played college baseball and some guys who moved onto more competitive soccer, but I can only imagine how much she drained her kid’s enthusiasm.

We were 8 to 10 years old for this, btw.
