Trophy Kids

[Robbie Hart]

Anybody else see this on Netflix? It's pretty brutal what these parents do to their kids tied to performance in sports.

Makes me realise that my dad was right when he coached us in baseball and just let us play as a team when we were younger. We were 10 times more successful as a team under him as opposed to the previous military like management we had to do deal with.

did all of you kids get trophy s? or just the ones who won?

I need to watch this, heard about it, but i don't think these parents understand there turning there kids against the sport. My dad used to be ultra competitive when I played rugby, screaming on the touchline, one day I just said fuck it, and quit the team. Thankfully he realised he was going OTT and wasn't the same for my younger bro etc.

By the end of the movie, I wanted to murder the football kids dad. I was literally in a physical rage after the scene of them in the car with the mom driving.

I'm pretty chill and wouldn't normally want to beat the shit out of someone I've never actually met, but for that guy, exceptions would be made.

You will find this interesting to say the least. It's absolutely crazy.

Just the first through fourth In wrestling got something.......jiu jitsu, first 3 got something

The majority of parents who do this to their kids are trying to live vicariously through them because they were unable to accomplish their own goals when they were younger imo.

Was looking for summat to watch thanks.

I've paused half way through to say fuck these people. Imagine making a little kid cry bitching at her mistakes, then forcing her to line up a put. This football dad is actually sick in the head, his kid has a thousand yard stare.

It's good dawg, but these people are disturbed. The tennis chick mom didn't register with me for whatever reason.

You're gonna have pissed off dreams for sure.

I'm mad at football dad all over just thinking about this doc.

That and golf dad, who seems not so bad at first, then turns on you like a taco from a rusty food truck.

Keep going

Jesus Christ.

Just watched the car I see what you mean.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

I cant watch shit like this. I had a dickhead dad but my mother was smart enough to see what he was doing and refused to let him go to the games. Use to see people get on their kids all the time at wrestling meets and more times than not it was the mothers. Seemed like alot of us dads knew if our kid had it or not and just let the kids have fun.

Are you still early on......I watched this over 3 weeks and finished it tonight. Is that the car scene with the mother (obviously divorced)?

 

[CutmanMatt]

I feel like in that scene you see football dad, for just a second, have a flash of "Maybe I'm wrong" and then you witness his pride and ego overtake his intelligence and he just doubles down with the abuse.

Good, she's a terrifying maniac, not a cunt though.

Yep he also enjoys loosing it the only time you see him nearly smile is while he's shouting.

 

[Punch]

I can't ever envision doing that to any child. There's motivation and then there's sadism.

My dad worked 16 hours a day so he barely went to my games, I never had crazy pressure. I did play travel ball and RBI ball with kids who had overbearing parents, made my job harder as a catcher if the dad was giving the pitchers instructions.

Im looking on my netflix right now
