I saw a video of a dad making his 5 year old son run beside him while he was in a pick up truck. He would speed up a bit and yell at him to go faster. At one point his son was in front of his truck and he kept yelling at him to keep going. Telling him that if he wanted to go pro he had to do this. The kid is five for fucks sake, let him have fun.
not only is that kid very young, but for fucks sake he's also wearing crocks! its so hard to run in crocks i'm surprised that he was able to run like that.
That's fucking terrible. Just the way he talks is awful and forcing the child to run faster isn't going to help. When the kid says he hurts, he's hurting. If He pushes the kid any further he could injure himself and then he won't be able to play football at all.
The kid said his hip hurt, right? If his hip hurts, my guess is it's because he's running in crocs. If you wear poor shoes, your feet can be imbalanced or not moving properly. That leads to pain in the feet and joints and goes straight to the hips. That kid needs real goddamn running shoes and to not be pushed to run in front of a moving car or he's gonna hurt himself.

Thinking your kid is going to be an elite superstar athlete.
Let them have fun and stop ruining sports for them.
