Parents these days will go to the extremes to help give their kids an advantage. The college scandal is a prime example, but every time I go out on a youth soccer field I witness it as well. It's horrible. Soccer moms and dads kissing up to the coach, paying extra for private training (aka payment to play more), buying coach gifts, drinks when out, becoming team mom and gaining more influence. These are the helicopter parents who will stop at nothing to help their child achieve something that is not deserving. Next time you walk out to the practice field or game, pay attention to which parents walk up to coach before, after games, practices, see how many of their kids are starting, playing quite a bit, despite no obvious advantage in talent or physical abilities. Let your kids determine their future, not your obsessive parenting......................................
