      Parents by far are the biggest fans of high school parents. Most of them will go about anything in supporting their children. Yes, sometimes they have a disagreement with the coach. Whether the disagreement is about playing time or the way the coach coaches the team. Parents also have the responsibility of supporting their children. Being a parent to a high school athlete is not easy. Financially, the burden of activity fees, equipment, and gas to go watch the games is hard for many parents to bare. More importantly is also is very difficult to raise a child and care for their well-being. Yes, parents sometimes cross the line of being too involved with their children’s sports. At the end of the day though, every athlete, coach, and parent learns and grows from high school sports. High school sports help cultivate many life values and lessons to help people grow. Kids play because they love the game, the competition, being with their friends, and being part of a team.
