At a HS game to see a specific player. He just got K’d on 3 pitches, and his attitude towards the umpire, his coach, and his teammates just changed my perspective of this trip.
Why do some sports parents sit alone?
- No Drama
- No Complaining
- They do not like Hearing Ignorance.
- No Badmouthing Coaches & Officials.
- They often just want to relax & Enjoy the Game!
Be a part of the solution.
Not the problem.
Student-athletes who skip class, hide in the weight room, disrespect teachers, and make excuses are bad teammates. How you do one thing, is how you’ll do everything. You can’t flip the switch. Being a winner is about being consistently good.

Stop the bullying in schools. Learn to treat others w/ respect. Lift others UP instead of finding ways to tear them down. This problem can be solved.
As athletes, we are looked up to more than most know in schools, society..
SET THE STANDARD 🙌
"A TEAM is a direct reflection of their coach, but a KID is a direct reflection of parenting. Respect and discipline are learned at HOME". @ksoldra
I've never heard this said any better!
Well Done: @ksoldra
Parents, your 8 year old doesn’t need video hitting Analysis or Track Man, Rapsodo. Know what they do need? Dad Go play catch with them, tell them to get their butt down to catch a ground ball, set their feet to throw, get them a Tee to hit off of, throw BP, & get ice cream after
We need Little League because if a club team won’t take a kid before or during puberty because they’re “bad” then we’re missing on so much talent down the line.
Youth sports should be used as a platform to help kids build tons of skills and relationships that’ll help them for life. Youth sports should NOT be used as a way for adults to feed their egos.
I have yet to see fire trucks bring AAU, 7 v 7, or club teams into town in celebration. While they all have their purpose, they should only be an accessory to HS sports, not a replacement. The lessons learned in scholastic sports, including representing a community, are critical
Dear @GovPritzker, @IHSA_IL, @IDPH,
Please stop putting school districts in politically impossible situations. Leave curriculum decisions and COVID mitigation strategies up to our elected school boards. Those plans/decisions are best made at the local level. #wecanbetrusted
People don’t recall a favorite textbook or curriculum. Most can’t tell you what they learned in any given school year. But they can tell you whether or not they liked their teachers. Teachers leave a lasting impression. Make sure you’re the one they recall with fondness.
