One of the most important skills you can have in that his world is dealing with douchebags. The way your kids see you dealing with soccer douches will stick with them. So take the opportunity to start setting a good example. <br /><br />That said, my son isn't there yet, I hated sports. But my dad worked in youth recreation and dealt with overbearing parents constantly, so I'm sure he will help.<br /><br />SoMike Hendersonhttp://Www.gizzardstone.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179948267056784673.post-65880827316030812142012-09-25T08:17:54.922-04:002012-09-25T08:17:54.922-04:00Been meaning to comment on this post for a few day...Been meaning to comment on this post for a few days now. I agree 100% and very well said. We have the loud cheering parents who encourage their kids to pass or shoot or get back on D, which is funny because they are FIVE and basically all follow the ball around like moths drawn to a light, but the ref yelling, kid berating guy is yet to appear. I kinda broke code one day by encouraging my boy to play pass with another kid who was crying during drills, assuming he was crying because he didn't have a pass partner, but that was not the case and coach told me everything was under control. Aside from "Go buddy, go!" I've kept my mouth firmly shut ever since then.Brad Marmohttp://twitter.com/readbradthedadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179948267056784673.post-41933754306919879632012-09-24T22:25:02.016-04:002012-09-24T22:25:02.016-04:00Could not have said it any better!

We had 2 parents who bitched and moaned the entire game at the parents, at us coaches and the ref's - he hated the drills we chose to warm up with, he hated the linemates his kid had and he hated the time and the location of the games. He even "forgot" to bring snack on his kids snack night. I got fed up and had the convenor kick him off the field one game. His kid had scored 4 or 5 goals and he wanted us to double and triple shift him.. Oddly enough in the finals his kid did zippo and left the game early in tears. I feel your pain.<br />On the bright side, while coaching hockey once in my 20's I had a Dad threaten to crack me over the head with a hockey stick for short shifting his kid 8 seconds... <br />That would have sucked. :)Warrenhttp://twitter.com/urbandaddyblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179948267056784673.post-64967584339157813242012-09-22T02:39:11.140-04:002012-09-22T02:39:11.140-04:00This guy needs a 3 dad intervention.

One in the front who calmly explains that his negative behavior is now done, and that he has a choice. He can sit down and shut up and be a better man and better dad for it. Or, the three of you will help him to his car, which he will need to sit in.<br />Works like a charm.<br />Some people need a clear in their face, but calm and rational reminder that it is NOT ok to be an ass.ginavalleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179948267056784673.post-7698021356115807872012-09-21T15:32:24.913-04:002012-09-21T15:32:24.913-04:00Just because somebody is "pushing 40 and carr...Just because somebody is "pushing 40 and carrying around an extra 40 pounds" does not make them a loser.
