Document Summary
Overzealous parenting often puts extreme pressure on their children to be successful, especially in sport. These behaviours can include yelling during competitions, disagreeing with coaches about their child, as well as derogatory insults directed at opposing players, other spectators, and officials. Parents may believe that they are doing what is best for the child by getting involved in the event and putting excess pressure on the child, but this is not the case. This pressure could make the child not want to participate in the sport, as his or her parents are too involved. One of the reasons that i know of that can explain why we have overzealous parenting could be a parental injury. I had a friend in high school who was very into sports, played rugby, basketball, etc.
