excellent, will definitely read this. However, I will caution that sports/coaching is different, and I would not jump to generalization on this. I am not a sports guy, so I can't quite relate personally, but there is a certain level of emotional investment in sports from parents that seems to get.. out of hand?
All it takes is a couple hours at a little league game to notice. It would be very interesting to see if similar data would come from something less competitive.

Whether it's a musical instrument/talent, drama, artistic, debate; anything that a parent sees as a harbinger of their child's success can induce too much stress of the child, it's a lot to live up to.
