• My kid’s success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent I am… But having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilient and who tries their best is a direct reflection of my parenting.
   
• No one watches me closer or emulates me more than my kid.
   
• I am watching a game played by children, the coaches are volunteers, the referees are human, this is not the world cup even though it really feels like it in the moment.
   
• I wish I was kinder to the referees.  My player loved the game so much they eventually became one.
