: Parent's should be a positive influ

PARENTS SHOULD BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE 

How badly you must want to win,
Not for yourself but for me,
So help me play this game dear Mom & Dad,
With dedication, goals, and dignity.
It's embarrassing for me, Mom & Dad,
When you criticize my coach,
If you think you can be helpful,
Then try a new approach.
Call and make arrangements,
To meet him face to face,
Far better than to yell at him,
In such a public place.
I think that you will also find,
Your friendship will be sealed,
In a more conducive atmosphere,
Than on the softball field.
Please try to go along with him,
Not judging wrong or right.
You know he's got a job to do,
That must be done tonight.
As he stands alone down there,
In front of all the fans,
Help him do the job he must,
By staying silent in the stands.
Snap decisions he must make,
Under pressure of the game,
And certainly where you must sit,
Tis' not really quite the same.
Even when he calls it right,
I often make a mistake,
That surely makes him look as though,
His coaching is at stake.
Sometimes he will chew me out,
Then he'll pat me on the back,
And I will get it next time.
You can count on that.
He'll take the blame for losses,
And walk out on a limb,
But he'll give his team credit,
For each and every win.
So be there when I need you, Mom & Dad,
Shout encouragement to me
