Parenthood is no time for trades, longtime coach Bruce Brown told parents during his speech on youth athletics.
“You can’t trade in your kid for a better athlete, and they can’t trade you in for a better parent,” he said in Snoqualmie Middle School’s gym. “You got what you got.”
Brown’s Sept. 29 presentation was titled “The Role of Parents in Athletics,” but he described it as things children want to say to parents but won’t.
“This is not one kid or one team,” he said. “This is three decades of me asking players what they need from adults.”
