Topic : How far do parents of athletics affect their sons and daughters?
Sources : Michelle Wie, Maria Sharapova, the Williams sisters. What is the common thing among these athletics? I guess they share a common thing which is that their parents affect them a lot and help them. This help can be not only a positive effect, but also a negative effect. While their parents affect them, sometimes parents cross the boundary that they should not invade. Some people say that their parents care for them too much.
For example, Yuri Sharapova, who is the father of Maria Sharapova, was blamed for his behavior at WTA Tour Championship in Los Angeles. Russia Fed Cup coach Larisa Neiland was saying “Every time Maria was playing a Russian girl there, her father’s behavior was simply outrageous, nasty and out of control.” Myskina, who was beaten by Maria in the semi-finals, backed up her, “I totally agree with Larisa. I feel his behavior is totally inappropriate, simply rude. I don’t want to be around people like him. He was yelling and screaming instructions to her and I thought he just might jump right on the court at one point in the match.” After the match between Maria and Myskina, Yuri Sharapova received a warning from the chair umpire for coaching his daughter during the Myskina match.

The following article is from “Telegraph.co.kr.” The title of this article is “Do they learn nothing from sad decline of Wie?”
Earlier this year Butch Harmon told the Sunday Telegraph: "The whole Michelle Wie camp is about money. The biggest difference between Earl [Woods, father of Tiger] and BJ [Wie, Michelle's dad] is that Earl didn't worry about money. He knew that it was more important for Tiger to learn to win and then the money would take care of itself. But Michelle Wie wins nothing. You should invite her to the next member-guest competition at your home club and she might actually win something because what's going on now is ridiculous. And it's not good for the game of golf."
Some people say that Michelle should have a professional coach instead of her farther. (but I found that she has a coach, David Leadbetter. I guess the reason why people say ‘she should have a professional coach’ is that David is just a swing coach. I’m not sure.)
Above article it seems like the teaching method of her father is incorrect. That’s because he failed how to raise competitiveness within her.
Question : Should parents train them at all?

Question : Should parents train them at all?
Pros – Parents have a good influence on them.
1. Parents can provide comfort and it is important for them.
2. They have a right to do whatever demand to their kids.
3. Even if they are not experts in the field, they are experts in terms of their kids.
Cons – Parents doesn’t have a good influence on them.
1. They are not experts.
2. They desire something to their kids, and it affects them badly.
3. Their meddling have bad influences them to have mental competitiveness.

Sam,
Not sure what the topic is. Is it "how far is too far?"
Is it "should parents train their children at all?"
Is it "do the ends justify the means?"
Try to be as specific as possible so we can better debate this
oh...Thanks for your advice.
I meant the second one.
