  No, they shouldn’t be mad. They should find a way to help you learn and encourage you to “Keep it Up”. If you love soccer and you keep trying you’ll get better. Just have fun playing the game and learn from your mistakes.

  some parents take this school sports thing to far and way to serious. do you enjoy it or are you planning on making it a career or do you plan on scholorships from it? our daughter plays soccer and we love to watch her. she has bad moves and bad games. its a learning thing. i sure could not do any better. tell them to send you to more camps and events

  Sounds like your parents are angry because they think you’re not taking it seriously or perhaps they’re trying to live out their ambitions through you. If you don’t enjoy playing soccer – which may be the reason why you’re not improving – talk to your parents and let them know that it’s not what you see yourself doing and you’d really like to focus on other things that you enjoy doing. Maybe that way they’ll understand and be less hasty to yell and scream at you.

  It always helps to just talk to your parents and be open with them. Even if you think you’re going to get a horrible reaction out of them, it’s better to be open and honest because in the end you’ll know you did your part and there will be no guilt from your end. Sometimes you just have to risk making them angry for a while so that you can be happy. When you’re happy and doing the thing YOU enjoy, they’ll learn to be happy seeing you doing the things you enjoy. It might take them a while, but give them that time. They are your parents and parents always do want what’s best for their kids… They’re just not always that good at expressing it.

  No, they shouldn’t be mad! I can understand them being disappointed, but yelling? NO. Absolutely not.

  Not everyone is good at sports. Some people are good at some sports but not at others. Whichever it is for you, there is absolutely NO reason why your parents should be yelling at you! If you’re trying your best, then that’s all you can do. Your best efforts are probably better concentrated into something that you enjoy and that you’re good at.
