Answer 1

Parents getting involved in the sports life of their children can be a huge boast for the kids. Especially, if the parents have been in the same sports. But it often happens that parents try to see their children achieve what they could not achieve. In the process, they tend to push the limits of their children’s in a way that they themselves didn’t. whereas every human is different. What the kids can do better may be the parents could not. And what could the parents do well, be the children’s do not excel that much at it. There needs to be a carefully drawn line between pushing too hard and being supporting.
