Ha! What a fun post! I’m not quite at the “soccer mom” phase of life, but I’ll have to keep these in mind. We all get pumped up and proud of our kids huh? And some let OUR competitiveness show through.

I loved this post! We have just entered the world of sports teams (our oldest is 5). I was surprised by a couple things: 1. how competitive a handful of parents were and 2. how ridiculously unhealthy the snacks were. While we try to make healthy choices for our family, we do understand that not everyone makes those choices. However, even my husband (who thinks sometimes I lean a little too far into “healthy”) was displeased with the snacks. If we are signing up for these sports teams, we obviously believe in fun fitness. I don’t see how loading kids down with Capri Suns, Cheetos, Oreos, and gummy snacks after running for an hour is a good choice! So that was a bummer. As for the competitive parents, it was very surprising to hear parents criticizing their kids after a game when score wasn’t even kept (the 5-year old team is just for fun). I can only imagine it gets more interesting as our kids get older and the sports do become competitive!

My kids haven’t entered the world of team sports yet, but all those tips are great to keep in mind for future use 😉
