Parents- boy they can be the best thing in the world and the worst thing in the world. I know that it takes parents to keeptheir kids focused and training inthe right matter but the pressures that are added to kids is huge. My father wasn't a coach and always let the coaches coach but he put pressure on me. He never felt he did but just wanted the best for me.
When parents get involved they need to be very careful. Don't always praise your kid and don't alwasy put him down-find a level spot to love your kids
