Frequently there’s no score kept these days in kid soccer games. No winners or losers at all.

As a coach for kids I’m amazed at the parents who spend NO time practicing with their child or even letting them practice and then who complain their brat isn’t getting enough playing time.

I used to help a friend coach a grade school basketball team. Most parents have no idea how good or bad their kid is. Even many parents with a sports background cannot look at their own child objectively.

I had a friend who thought his boy was a budding superstar. He was a decent player, but I had to put up with my friend's guff about his superstar kid who got shafted by the coach. My friend was convinced his kid's high school coach didn't play him much because he was jealous of my friend's kid's ability. Yeah, sure.

You should not be a kid's coach. You obviously don't like kids, referring to them as brats. What the hell? And yes, all the kids should get equal playing time. It a game for cryin out loud!!!Just a game and the kids are all there to have fun. Relax and take a pill there coach.
