Team Hoppers

I have been living the childhood sports drama for 10 years.  The kids are great.  It's the parents who need to be 'betch slapped' into the next time zone. 

If your kid is not playing, it's because s/he isn't as great as you think s/he is.  There may also be an attitude issue (ahem, ahem....wonder where it comes from) and a sense of entitlement.  Parents get in a huff, and they pull Junior off to play on another team. 

Long story short.  Team hopping thinking your kid will get a better opportunity gets you NOWHERE.  Sport coaches -- even rival coaches -- keep close tabs on players and parents and they all compare notes.  Chances are you and your kid have been black balled because you are a pain in the ass, and your kid sucks at third base. 

Everybody knows this fact it except YOU.  You continue to live in your delusional Division I scholarship fantasy.  Stop it.  No college anywhere wants a whiney parent with a marginally talented kid sucking up their precious time explaining that your kid really does suck at third base and you should remove rose colored glasses accordingly. 

Coaches have enough to do.
