10 Commandments for Sports Parents... 1.) You are a parent and not the coach. 2.) You should stay away from the children while they are practicing so as not to make them lose focus. 3.) Yes, you love your child so much and want him or her well-hydrated, but running into the field to wipe their back and giving them water even if they have not been given a break is a breach of discipline. 4.) Cheer for your child, their teammates, and even their opponents. Acknowledge the good performance of the players no matter which side they play for. 5.) Winning is not everything, so don’t get angry when your child or his or her team loses. 6.) Don’t embarrass your children by fighting with other parents or worse, fighting with their opponents, who are also kids. 7.) If your child is engaged in a contact sport, expect some contact, but the good coaches and trainers can help your children minimize or avoid injuries. 8.) Do not impose yourself upon the coaches, school, or team officials even if you contribute an amount of money on a regular basis to help pay for your child’s coach or trainer. 9.) Be supportive by providing what you can in terms of equipment, refreshments, and moral support. 10.) Be a good example to your children.
