Bode Miller shared his son “quit on” his soccer team and so he “let him run the hill.” The viral moment raised parenting questions and debate.
If you are a sports parent, you may have watched the video Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller posted on Instagram that went viral earlier this week.
“For those who are concerned, the hill running was his idea,” the post read. “He said he didn’t run during the game. This kid is next level.Some who commented on the post applauded Miller’s “tough love.” Others thought his apparent punishment was too harsh. But maybe Miller’s son, or your son or daughter, doesn’t like soccer, or another sport. You can see such signs with a lack of effort. Kids also can check out quickly, especially if we push a sport or concept on them.
Remember, too, that kids want to please you as a parent. Maybe Miller’s son wanted to run that hill. Or maybe he just wanted to please his dad.Our kids aren’t superhuman, they’re just human — like us When he managed the Senators and Rangers, Ted Williams seemed frustrated his players didn't have the same keen batter's eye he did. More recently, Patrick Ewing couldn’t seem to figure out why even his veteran players on Georgetown’s men’s basketball team couldn’t compete at a superior level for an entire game, as he once did.
I asked one dad who stayed for practice if he would run an “exercise corner” in the gym for kids who weren’t paying attention. The boys who acted up did push-ups and other calisthenics. We didn’t overdo it, and we made it all seem like fun.
