Soccer Parents

I started this blog to spread the word about our label and artists and chose to throw in a little tech whenever needed but today I have to drop a little post about what I saw yesterday at my daughter's soccer game.

This is my daughter's first year playing peewee soccer in our town and she absolutely loves it. She does not care if she wins or loses she just loves playing the game. It seems that the rest of the kids on her team feel the same...they are there to have fun...That's It!

We are 4 games in and for the last 4 weeks I have witnessed unbelievable behavior from the parents that up until now I had only read about in the papers.

Adults screaming at the top of their lungs at these kids not with encouragement but with angst and disgust as these little girls tried their best to have fun and enjoy themselves. They were yelling so loud and sternly that the kids were getting nervous during every play.....One mother screamed that her kid was not allowed to eat for a week because she let a goal go by!!

I can understand getting excited about our children playing organized sports but acting like animals and scaring our children is unacceptable.

I felt compelled to post this as it is weighing heavy on my heart.

Let me know what you think and have a great day and remember these kids are our future and the way we act will reflect on how they act when they grow.

Take Care,
JHolla
