just want to like fight and try hard. It was like, yeah. And they get, so they respond to, the way everyone else acts. And when there's a foul in the boys' games, it's a lot different when there was a foul in the girls' games. And I just was trying to encourage them to be a little bit more aggressive and feisty.

All right. She all right? Good. Let's keep playing. You get a little lip bust. And it was probably good for her, too. Like, my daughter's got elbowed in the eye last week. You know what she did? She got up. She kept balling, and I was very proud of that.

I have unique experience. So, like, I never say โ I coach my son's football team, so that's very different. But, like, through my whole sports parenting career, I just am very quiet and I don't react to anything other than just, like, clap. I don't, like, cheer for individuals on the team. Like, it's just my sports parent rules. I don't begrudge anyone who does that.

It's normally just a clap, like, okay, okay, okay, no matter how intense the game is.

look, this is not what we're going to do to, like, some opposing parents. Like, this is not what we're going to do. This is 12-year-old girl soccer. Relax. And then normally people respond accordingly, but, yeah, that's... I don't know. That's the worst possible thing is I don't want to be in a situation.

It's like I assume that people are looking at me. I don't want people to leave and be like, man, Dominique was real tough on his kid.
