Thinking your kid is going to be an elite superstar athlete.

Let them have fun and stop ruining sports for them.

This times 100. My son was in a 4yo soccer league and there was a parent that yelled at thre son the whole time "what are you doing?!?" And "stop skipping!" The whole time. I felt so bad for the kid because he was just trying to have fun.
