Sports mom loses it

The following is a Public Service Announcement from the St. Louis Sports Commission and its Sportsmanship Initiative. Parent behavior can sometimes get out of control at youth sports competitions. We don't mean to lose it. We know it's inappropriate to go off the deep end...especially in front of the kids. Maybe we just come down with a case of the "can't help its." If you or someone you know behaves like the mom in the following video (email subscribers click here), please call the Sportsmanship Hotline at 314-345-5130 and get registered for the 2012 St. Louis Youth Sports Summit today. Our trained professionals specialize in Coaching Leadership, Sports Parenting, CPR Training and more. We'll also present a breakout session dealing with social media so you don't end up on websites like stupidvideos.com.

It doesn't matter what the sport is, the Sportsmanship Initiative can help. We have worked successfully with baseball, football, soccer, wrestling and volleyball coaches over the years. But maybe you don't want to call. That's fine. Just click on this link to register. There is no fee to join and no hidden costs will be charged later. Encourage your friends to join you and come to the St. Louis Youth Summit on Saturday, January 14, 2012 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Maryville University Auditorium. Space is limited. So, you must RSVP to attend. The St. Louis Youth Sports Summit is a program of the St. Louis Sports Commission's Sportsmanship Initiative which creates more positive environments for kids to play sports so they will remain active and lead healthier, happier lives. For more on the Sportsmanship Initiative, please visit sportsmanship.org. Until next time...

Be a Good Sport!
