Hope you're having a great week , it's a great time to start making winning your habit! Compare the sports parenting styles: P. Diddy vs. Doc
Rivers I was struck by the stark difference in responses by two prominent names when
their kid was treated 'unfairly' by a sports coach.
P. Diddy, whose son plays football for UCLA, aggressively confronted the coaches and the situation escalated to a physical fight, read the story here
Doc's simple response is filled with so many
truths:
- Coaches want to win. If you are not happy with your playing time - make yourself so valuable as a player that the coach will want to play you more.
- Kids need to learn how to fight for what they get, and earn it.
- I am not going to rob you of your chance to fight for something by going to talk to your coach.
- As a parent, I support you and know you can do it, but you have to work for it.
