Dear Soccer Parents

Dear Soccer Moms and Dads:

Do you honestly think that "coaching from the sidelines" is going to make your child a better soccer player? Do you honestly think that you are teaching them anything by SCREAMING at them when they are already doing the best they can? They are children. And they are doing their best. They are having fun out there. They love you and you are destroying their self esteem by saying things like, "I'm going to put you in ballet...." Oh and by the way, what if your son WANTED to be in ballet? What's wrong with that??!! Anything your child would and will choose to do will require YOUR support and encouragement. These aren't soccer pros, they are KIDS! Relax. Enjoy the game.

And one more thing, when MY son misses the goal as goalie, GET OVER IT because he is still a star to me!

In short, CHILL THE HECK OUT for crying out loud.
