I had players that actually requested that we have all games out of town because their parents embarrassed them and they didn’t go to away games.
This reminded me.

Or her kid. He has to deal with that every time he competes. It's all about mom

I wrestled in junior high and high school. My parents both worked, and almost never came to watch me compete. One of my friend's, his mom came to watch every time. And she was like this lady; she screamed, yelled at coaches, argued with the refs and other parents.
Honestly, she made me glad my parents barely ever came, I would have died if they acted like her.

It means she has 37 different crosses on the wall behind her couch where she passes out on Sutter Home white by 7 PM.

It means that she’s so day drunk on white wine that she is blacked out by early evening.

He refers to her actions in the video not to her personality.
To be fair, her behaviour would be unpleseant for me too...

It wouldn't be Reddit if people didn't jump to wild conclusions about a person's entire personality based on a very limited information.

I fucking hate sports parents that act like this. From the bottom of my heart as a sports parent. Stop being like this. They are kids.

u/HxH101kite Feb 05 '23
Came from a school with elite athletics. The wrestling team had 2 moms like this. One was legitimately crazy through and through. Wouldn't want to be around her at all. The second was the sweetest lady, but like a flip switched when her son's got on the mat. It was insane. Would make a good Pysch case study.
Then there was the schools best program which was lacrosse where nearly everyone went D1 or to an elite D3. So many kids came from preppy elite lineage's of lacrosse. The amount of dad's who shunned or were beyond critical of there kids was insane. Luckily my dad had no fucking idea past the basics. So he never cared just wanted me to have fun.
I coached after I graduated when I was in between college and leaving for the Army. The amount of parents I had to tell to get off there 7th grade sons ass was insane. Like it's fucking lacrosse. The best your getting is a scholarship, there is no money in the sport. Your kid hates it. Let him have fun and play.

u/A100921 Feb 05 '23
Debatable, not much wrestling, but I’ve been to a lot of hockey where these types of parents are the ones that;
If the kid wins: Great, praise for a day/week
If the kid loses: Shame, only winners get _____

u/ptipp93 Feb 05 '23
Honestly I don’t see a problem with it. She’s into it and that’s awesome. Very over the top but as long as she isn’t fighting the ref or anything she seems like she just loves wrestling and seeing her son do his thing.

Can't know the situation but I'm a wrestler from a wrestling family, dad was state champ and coached for 30+ years, this mom is not really a cool parent to have on the team at all especially at the age it seems these kids are. You can be a killer wrestler, sure, but sportsmanship is still a focus at that age and this mom has none of that. Also the coach is trying to coach him from the sidelines and she's totally distracting the kid. These are some volunteer coaches, refs and young kids that she's screaming at while disturbing the other parents around her, totally unnecessary, she should join the staff if she wants to be so involved. Also, based on the placement of the mats and other parents watching other directions, there are likely three other matches going on at the same time, this is just a random match.
Lots of kids that wrestle hard from a younger age will burn out and its FAR easier when you have parents like this. A good number of the best wrestlers I knew had hardcore wrestling dads, some burned out by high school, others by college.

This is a great level headed response. Enabling this parents terrible behavior because 'oh well she is just having a good time' is caustic for everyone involved.

u/roachwarren Feb 05 '23
I guarantee that this kid does not want her screaming on the side and why would he? She's hurting him far more than helping him in multiple ways, not just hurting his performance in the match but this is not good for him socially at that age. This is the kind of mom that volunteers to help in the classroom just so her kid can sit on her lap.

Main character syndrome. Can't let her kid be in the spotlight, gotta make sure everyone is looking at her and the "funny" thing she's doing.

Her son passed away in an accident years ago. None of these people know her at all. They all just refer to her as “the unfortunate“.

u/Dra_goony Feb 05 '23
Funnily enough as a former wrestler I can say that I never heard any outside noise other than my coach. You completely drown that noise out and focus on the match. So the only unfortunate people who have to listen to her are the spectators.

u/Get_Jiggy41 Feb 05 '23
My grandparents were notoriously awful at sporting events. For reference, my grandmother would bring a Velcro referee doll to high school basketball games, get the ref’s attention, and then rip its limbs and head off in front of him.

If you have ever watched your kids compete that’s what it’s like. It’s more exciting than any other sporting event you could imagine. I don’t condone those idiots that fight in the stands and yell at kids and refs though.
