I’ve said it for years, since I coached youth soccer; parents/adults ruin youth sports. Also an update on that father/coach: he has apologized to the girl, as well as to the owner of the school that his son attends. He has been banned from future competitions, and I think that academy. The owner of that school has volunteered to pay for that girl’s BJJ training at the school that she trains at, I believe, for a lifetime.

Thanks for the update Todd. Glad to hear that the tournament and the school both took action.

Great video & topic! Can’t thank you enough so your life lessons. My son is going through youth soccer & I’ve seen some of this toxic behavior from the sidelines. Youth sports is for the kids to have fun & learn something along the way. Like you said, not for parents to relive their childhood & make up for “not going pro” Thank you Saad & keep it up!

You are welcome my friend. Thanks for the positive feedba6.

Wow, how horrible 😢

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

I agree!

I’ve watched my kids best other kids hands down. And I’ve watched my kids get beat quickly and efficiently by other kids. I don’t like seeing my kids lose. I love to see them win! However, when I have been coaching I make sure to applaud win, lose or draw. I shake the other kids hand and tell them “great techniques!” “Good fight!” “Good job!” Etc I try my hardest to instill in my kids that grappling is a sport you have to lose in order to win. The only thing I really get upset about is quitting. I ask them “did you have fun?” And even in loss they always give a great fight! And that to me is what counts fun and a good damn tussle! I’m always proud of them for that. To me a loss is something learned. Something we learn that we need to work on. You win or you learn. As for bad parents. Man I hate seeing anything like that. Bad parents or kids throwing tantrums. The kids throwing tantrums seems to happen more in wrestling 😂 come to think of it bad parents too!

Keep up the good fight! What you have described is what I look for in all my kid's parents in Jiu Jiitsu tournaments. Support and encourage our kids win or lose. Remember to have fun and show good sportsmanship. Thanks for watching.

I agree that the parent who flipped off the kid is absolutely in the wrong. However, as a parent of a child with issues of behavioral health, who gets in trouble A LOT, I get really frustrated when people say "it's the parents." I try very hard to set a good example, to teach right and wrong. I give my child good values. It's not always the parents' fault.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

I wish you the best in raising your child. As both a parent and a grandparent I realize raising kids is not easy.

[@MikeLovesCars]

Wow, what sort of a person does that? What sort of an up bringing are they teaching their child? I just don't get the attitude of some people nowadays and I'm sure it's only getting worse. Sad times.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

I agree! I almost didn't believe it when I first heard the story but the saw the video of the incident on Reddit and an article about it in BJJ eastern Europe. Really disgusting.

[@zyncarla]

Bro is trash talking a child while looking like they’ve never trained for anything in their lives. Definition of living through your child’s achievements

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

I agree! I have seen so many parents who don't train actually try to coach their kids in tournaments. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.

@@semperfortisjiujitsu thanks for the video and definitely got a new sub

[@The1aw]

I’m might excuse the not shaking the girls hand, which I already believe is out of line, but flipping her off really dude? This guy needs to be banned from tournaments to be honest. Parents need to be more accountable for their children’s behaviour as well I agree, & to act like that was ok, teaching his child to think that is ok is just so gross.

[@semperfortisjiujitsu]

I agree! Thanks for watching.
