Studies and surveys showed that many parents are pushing their kids to excel in sports. Many parents were seeking college scholarships and high school praise for their kids. These parents make their kids work beyond what is acceptable. The affects of this pressure are seen when they show less enthusiasm and drive. Kids should be able to push themselves to be great, not the parents.
