Soccer parents can say some crazy stuff. I never expected a soccer dad to interrupt a training session and say what he said. It's not the typical coach and parent interaction we hear about these days. Listen in to hear what this dad said to me. I think you'll be surprised. I know I was.

Parent's have you ever approached a coach to say something like this? Coaches, have you ever been approached by a parent with a comment like this?
