You can always pick out the parents who weren’t athletes in the stands. When a kid gets hurt, they’re the ones who take it personally, calling for violent retribution against the opposing player. In aggressive sports, things get out of hand. It’s our jobs to tech kids to stay levelheaded and not let emotions get the better of us. Be the good example. #youthsports #parenthood

If you want to know someone’s true character, see how they act when they’re child’s team is losing. Or, better yet, when they’re winning. #parenthood #youthsports #kids

I somehow ended up in the anxious #baseball dad section at this highschool game. I’m so glad my kids have no chance of making any money at their sports. #parenthood #kids #youthsports

Coach is serious that he’s gonna practice ‘til it’s dark. #lacrosse #youthsports #sunset

When I was 8, my softball team went undefeated for the season. My dad was coaching and these were my friends from school. This was a good day.

@bcollinsmn_tgot true, but I find it handy when coaching 5th grade basketball to be able to quantify who I'm addressing. E.g.: "y'all (group of boys) lost the shooting drill by 3 so y'all need to run 3 down & backs"
vs.
"you (one boy) just attempted a half court shot after I asked you to set the ball down so you (one boy) owe me a down & back"
