Occasionally you pick up a book that just tells it like it is, and this is such a book. The essence is that parents of sporting kids should back off and let the coach and the team take care of them. I don't think anyone would disagree. The boorish oafs (mainly fathers) who spoil it for everyone else really are damaging more than just their own self-respect. I have even seen fist-fights between fathers ON THE SAME TEAM at kids soccer in England. Children's lives are often shaped by the public behaviour of their parents. In my opinion, this book should be compulsory reading for any parent whose child is selected to play school or college team sports. Well done, this message has to be said!
