Quote:My son plays little league baseball. He plays fall and spring, with no travel. There are kids his same age range (8-9) that are going across the state playing "all star" ball. Most of the parents of those kids are intolerable. They all think their kid is going to be in the majors someday.

 

The sad thing is, there are some really wonderful stories out there about adults who get into coaching / youth sports for the most sincere reasons. All that they want is to make sure that the players learn something, develop some teamwork skills, and have fun. You will rarely hear anything about those people and be exposed to folks like this.
