I used to coach HS wrestling and if you ever have the chance, go to the state tourney. It is electric.
Ohhh, yeah they probably can be but with that said I coached HS wrestling at a school with no parents, so it was not so bad for me!
That’s one kid who can say with sincerity ‘my dad can beat up your dad’.
I’ve heard that Bud can be one of those not-so-good ones
It was great when it was in Lincoln too.
When they moved it to Omaha the super fraidy-cats out in central and western NE lost their minds...but clearly it was the right choice.
Not even close. Wrestling parents are some of the best I have been around. Selected baseball parent are by far the worst
All situational. I've seen a 9 year olds parents make their kid cry and belittle him because he lost to my kid at a wrestling tournament.. I've never personally seen that happen in baseball. But again all situational.. I think every sport has bad parents because they let their egos get in the way and they are trying to relive their "glory days" thru their children. It's sad honestly
I can just tell you from my experiences in the sports that I have coached or that my close friends have coached.
Super Crazy Parents: Any select/club sport but there are still tiers for that.
High School Sports:
Crazy Parents: Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball (Probably in that order but it can vary a bit)
Normal: Track, Cross Country (usually because the parents don't even know their kid is on the team), wrestling.
I have never done anything with swimming or diving (because I am black and we don't swim) but I can imagine parents being annoying because of how much time/money they have invested.
Football is a wildcard. It can go either way.
I agree.Parent spend big money and a lot of time devoted to club/select sports and expect a Roi. Most of the time there kids just suck. No matter how much money or experience and coaching the kids get
Listened to the whole interview. Was a bit of a tough listen but Crawford seems pretty convincing that he is done for real
