Children into and thru amateur and even professional athletics, but given the sucess that ALOT of kids achieve because of the constant proding, is it REALLY such an awful thing to have a parent who does not accept mediocrity from their child in athletics?
and this is just my question, i think sports parents are often a bit psycho.

there's nothing wrong with pushing a child to be their best. but it should not be against the wishes of the child or at the expense of that child's childhood. i think the problem is when parents force their kids into athletics when the kids probably just wants to go and play with his/her friends. or when athletics becomes more about the boasting of the parents than the happiness of the child. those 2 things are often overlooked when trying to make a child into a succesful athlete.
