Let\u2019s put the shoe on the other foot for a minute and ask: <em>What if your child came to work with you and spent the entire time commenting on your performance?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not only would it distract you, but it could also be pretty embarrassing as well. Believe me, that\u2019s how your child feels when you show up at his \u201cjob\u201d and comment on everything that happens in the game. Here, specifically, are 5 ways that you could be embarrassing your child during youth sports:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yelling at an official\u2019s calls when you really have no clue what happened and he is actually right. (Or maybe he\u2019s not so right. Either way, it\u2019s embarrassing for your child.)<\/li>\n<li>Loudly booing the official or opposing team members.<\/li>\n<li>Yelling at other sports parents who are very vocal.<\/li>\n<li>Yelling at the coach &#8212; who may or may not have tuned you out anyways &#8212; because you don\u2019t like who he put in the game or the play she called.<\/li>\n<li>And the worst embarrassment of all? Being so obnoxious that the official finally kicks you out of the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen this happen many times and always felt so bad for their child. How embarrassing is that? There&#8217;s no way to justify that behavior.&nbsp;Your motivation may be pure as you want to see your child do well, but these behaviors at youth sports events&nbsp;are actually sabotaging his performance. If you really want to help your child, you will keep your comments positive and blend in with the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;best contribution you can make on game day is to not&nbsp;distract her from doing her job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Ways You Might Be Embarrassing Your Child During Youth Sports One of the biggest distractions to an athlete during a youth sports game has to be the observing parents &#8212; to be more specific, it&#8217;s often&nbsp;his or her own parents.
