It's all about the team
Another high school sports season started this weekend, and I spent half of Saturday watching one of my daughters play volleyball. We all want our kids to excel, but it's important that we help instill in our kids the value of the team. Some coaches have difficulty keeping a team unified when players are hearing the opposite from their parents. Don't be a parent who complains about the coach and about your child's playing time. Support the authority of the coaches who have chosen to help educate our kids and surely know more about the sport and the team than we do. Undermine them and we undermine one of the foundations of our children's education -- the part where they learn a healthy respect for authority.
