Now its about insane parents ?

It's not about them. I just think it is a lot of pressure for little kids to be under. Playing 3 or 4 games a day in a tournament environment, especially with parents like that, is very stressful. They are still just little kids, regardless of how good they are. I would worry about burn out at an early age being under that much pressure for that many years. My son is 16 and a sophmore and I still impress on him that it is still a game and you need to be having fun. He is about to the point where it should be much more serious, but even when it is a business, it still needs to be fun.

Look at the MLB guys in the dugout. They are generally having a good time with each other.
