Moms or Dads
Coaching has been a large part of my life for the past 5 years and one thing has always gotten to me. Don't get me wrong I love coaching and the kids are usually great but it's the parents I wonder about.
I have often wondered who's worse "Gymnastics" moms or "Football" dads. Gymnastics can also include dance and cheerleading and football also includes basketball and baseball. Soccer can go either way.
Kids are all special in their own way but when parents believe their child is the best and should be treated that way it really frustrates me. I have always tried to treat every child fairly but each coach has to admit that subconsciously there is always a favorite one.
Gymnastics moms want to know why their children aren't learning as quickly as the others. Football dads want to know why their kid is riding the bench. Just leave questioning the judges about scores or yelling at the refs up to the coaches.
So my question is who do you think is more obnoxious?

I don't know anything about football dads, but gymnastics moms are pretty bad - and I never even coached the team! We're talking about girls just learning backbends! But then you get the parent who thinks that even though her daughter can't even do a cartwheel she should be in that class, and if you dare to question her you might offend her because she's a minority ....
