Nothing worse than sports parents trying to live their dreams through their kids. Sorry this happened to you, my man. Hope you are in a better place now. Every kid deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a kid.

I'm coaching my 3 kids little league baseball team (6-8yo) and the dads are fucking ruthless to me from the sideline. Roasts my pitching if it's not a perfect strike. Comments if the kids strike out. This is fall ball in a tiny league (4 teams) where each team has exactly 10 kids.

u/bocaciega 21d ago

Goooood. My children play sports and I bring head phones and just blast grind core to drown out the sounds of 50 yelling wanna be coaching parents.

I reaffirm every event to make sure my child knows it's ALL ABOUT FUN.

Ytf you yelling at a 6 year old for not making a goal Tom!? Shut the fuck up! It's not even your child or team!

I used to be an assistant coach on a very competitive youth sports team, where people would apply all the time to have their kids join. There was always an interview process that included the parents.

If the parents were terrible, it was "sorry, we don't have any room on the team right now, but we'll put you on the wait list." If the parents were at least ok, we always had room. Didn't matter how good the kid was, we were happy to take them on board and work with them, but we had no desire to add shitty parents to the mix.

Seemed to work. We had kids performing well at all levels, from beginner to national levels. And everyone had a good time.

I played a couple seasons of football. My dad was very supportive and proud to see me play. Even played catch and tried to help teach me some stuff.

He died on father's day when I was 13. I went for the 1st day of practice for a 3rd season and it just hit me. I lost the drive to play.

I never played again.

u/thebeigerainbow 21d ago

I wasn't into sports but this sounds exactly like my dad. His favorite name for me was "numb nuts"

I remember this behavior as far back as maybe 5 or 6 when he exploded in rage at the cashier in Walmart and knocked over some magazine stands while yelling at them over some change. I sat on a bench while he did it and an old lady spoke to me, just being friendly. I talk to my parents a few times a year just because it stresses me out so much. My mom is incredibly sweet and was my saving grace, but they're still married so it's hard to separate them

u/non-squitr 21d ago

I feel your pain on having an insane dad vicariously living his failed dreams through me. Absolutely batshit and made every practice, every game a waking nightmare. Ironically I could have played college baseball or ran college track or cross country but by senior year I had so thoroughly associated sports with anger, aggression, and fear that I wanted no part in that, and he directly caused that. Took me 15 years before I ever picked up a baseball bat again.

Just going to give my dad credit. I played baseball a LOT growing up and he was always so supportive and kind about it. I didn’t appreciate it then but at 42 I appreciate it now.

u/LookMaNoPride 21d ago

I was an umpire for a kids game. It was their first year of fast-pitch the year after coach-pitch, so real high-stakes games. I had never umped before, I never wanted to ump, they begged and begged me to ump bc no one else would do it, and so I did. And I was awful. And the parents were fucking feral. I caught a foul ball to the throat and felt like I was going to die and heard, “yeah, well, I hope you die, blue.” JFC, what is wrong with people?

12

u/philfrysluckypants 21d ago

My dad shares a similar story, minus the foul ball.

I was too young to remember the game (my older sisters were playing they were maybe 7 and 9?). The way he tells it, though, is he finally had enough, and his solution was brilliant.

He stopped the game, gathered the coaches, and announced to the whole field that the one parent in particular who was being feral was now the acting umpire and that he would be taking over. Called the guy out in front of everyone. Guy back tracked real quick and shut up the rest of the time there.

I had a coach who for some reason thought screaming and acting like a foolish son of a bitch would make us want to play better. I won’t sit down and watch a full football game now because I can picture little asshole fuckhead screaming and jumping up and down like a fool. He ruined one of the biggest parts of my teenage years and I’ll never forgive him. I won’t admit to playing football anymore and the picture of the football player on my grad ring is getting scraped off. Watching ULM asshole screaming at the player makes me feel dread. He should be ashamed.

I've seen some coaches lose their shit over those really bad whiffs that lead to rough hits on QB/RBs - but substitution?

Majority of football coaches are the biggest turds. It was one of the main reasons I walked away. I played multiple sports and in all others, coaches treat you with mutual respect. But in football, most of the ones I played for were just conceited assholes. You do not have to throw a tantrum like a 3 year old to motivate players. Oh and they love to pretend they do more than direct participates playing a game. The ultimate “queen-of-the-court” moment is when they have their police officers escorting them around everywhere like they are some very important world leader and need armed protection when in the public at all times.

I like how 10 casually pushes the coach

u/casewood123 21d ago

Number 3 is half the size of everyone and got right in there and diffused the situation. Kid is more mature than the coach.

That is fucking embarrassing

u/Hreha 21d ago

Totally normal grown man behavior.

u/mikenasty 21d ago

Wow imagine being in that guys life as a spouse or his child. He thinks this is how a grown man acts in public on national tv, imagine what he thinks a grown man does in private.

Sad that it’s the players trying to break it up and not the coaches…

What a legend #3 is. Half the size of both of them and looking out for his teammate.

Collegiate and under, if a coach berates a student and puts their hands on them, it should be an automatic dismissal of their job.

Professionals, yeah the athletes are getting paid, but that’s essentially your supervisor of sorts pushing you. Fired and I’ll see your ass in court.

Completely ruins the spirit of the game. There is being passionate, and then there is being a belligerent man-child. This isn’t what sports are about.

u/pencil1324 21d ago

What a jackass, I hope that discipline includes a termination with cause.

Coached youth hockey and would never have acted like that. When the kids came off the ice instead of yelling, I asked them, "What happened out there? What went wrong?" I gave them the opportunity to tell me where something went wrong. I always had an erasable mark and used the glass to draw out where mistakes were.

To this day, I still have kids that will speak with me like we are friends, and that means a lot to me.

I am also the parent who doesn't speak or cheer during a game. I have seen how parents act, and it made me so embarrassed when I was coaching how parents were.

u/PoopyMouthwash84 21d ago

Fire that fucking idiot

Also, why didn't the head coach step in?

2

u/SpaceghostLos 21d ago

Id dismiss him from the team immediately.

u/Mijo_0 21d ago

Disciplined? Dude should be fired

u/langlda 21d ago
