In response to Chet Forte
Good point, Chet. Over the years, I coached several hundred athletes on elite club teams and experienced a ton of helicopter parents. I found that the helicopter kid athletes tended to out perform other athletes during the period from middle school to early high school years. As time wore on, they started to regress since the intense internal drive to succeed was more instilled their parents than their kids. It was a rare exception where the helicopter kid player could stay hungry and highly self-motivated, especially in college when the influence of parents diminishes dramatically.
