2007 Edition!
New Year's Resolutions
for Softball Parents

1. To sit back and enjoy my children, even when they drive me nuts!

2. To respect umpires and other officials, because they do the best job possible.

3. To let my child be a CHILD first, and an athlete second.

4. Let the coaches coach. Always.

5. Control my nerves during important games ( aren''t they all important???)

6. To plan a summer vacation that DOESN'T involve a tournament.

7. Relax more.

8. Encourage my child with quiet confidence.

9. To tune out "class-less" parents and fans. They show their true identities without my help.

10.  Give everyone a second chance, even the people referenced in number 9.

11. I will pay attention when my kid says, " Hey, my (fill in body part here) hurts."

12. I  will not listen to nor spread gossip about other teams, parents, or players.
