EPISODE 80 - PARENTS BEHAVING BADLY AT KIDS SPORTS: ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? High Vibes And A Mic | Motherhood, Family, Friendships, International Culture, Wellness, Spirituality podcast

In this podcast episode, Veronique and Silvia discuss the behavior of parents during their children's sports activities. They highlight three common types of parents: sideline coaches, referee ragers, and team takeovers. Sideline coaches are parents who forget they are not the coach and provide running commentary from the sidelines. Referee ragers are parents who constantly complain and yell at the referees during games. Team takeovers are parents who take it upon themselves to organize everything for the team, often disregarding other parents' ideas. The hosts emphasize the importance of respectful behavior and not letting the intensity of children's sports overshadow the fun and enjoyment. The conversation discusses various challenges and issues that arise from parents' involvement in their children's sports activities. It highlights the negative impact of sideline coaching, referee rage, team mom takeovers, recruiter parents, and comparative parents. The hosts emphasize the importance of balance, realistic expectations, and enjoying life outside of sports. Takeaways
