At a tournament last weekend, many parents were screaming so loud it was embarrassing for the team. They were arguing with other parents and yelling at the players. Is this good for our children, not to mention the team?
Think about your child. They're out there trying their hardest, and at the same time they're cringing because their mom or dad are yelling so loudly that no one is watching the game anymore.
How do you think they feel? Is this motivating them to do better or try harder?If you want to yell, don't yell at your child. Yell words of encouragement and support. Yell for your team and for your child. Here's a few examples:
- Good teamwork!
- Keep trying!
- Way to work hard!
- Nice passing!
- Good block!
Next time you want to yell, try a nice comment. Your child and coaches will appreciate it!
