You hear shouting at a referee as the figure starts motioning toward the field. The next thing you know, the figure has picked up the chair he was sitting in and hurled it across the field. Is that figure an irate basketball coach up in Bloomington...or a soccer parent on the sideline?
When we think about what makes people friends with each other, a number of things come to mind. For example, our friends like us and enjoy spending time with us, as we enjoy them. And what is it we mostly do when we are together with our friends? Mostly we talk and listen to each other. Conversations are the glue between people, the essential element in a strong relationship. Relationships wither without communication, and the very best form of communication is the conversation. Many parents fall into the trap of thinking that it is their job to talk and their child's to listen. Actually that's only half-right. It is also our job to listen and the child's job to talk. It's a wonderful thing when a parent and child can really talk to and hear each other.
Aren’t you always amazed and then bizarrely amused and finally nauseated when you read about another hockey dad/soccer mom/ Little League parent going off on a referee/coach/opponent/kid?I hate to start an essay asking questions, but after all the reports about how wrong and dysfunctional, even deranged, it is to get so overwrought at simple athletic contests, why does bad parental behavior continue on and on? I think I know the reason.
Kristina Larsen was credited with the game-winning goal in the second overtime and No. 3 UCLA defeated No. 25 Washington State 2-1 in the Pacific-10 Conference women's soccer opener for both schools.
For the second-consecutive week, the No. 16 Washington women's soccer team pushed a top-five opponent to overtime on the road, but the result was the same as the Huskies fell just short, 3-2, to the No. 5 USC Women of Troy Friday at McAlister Field in the Pac-10 opener for both teams.
