There’s a dichotomy and inconsistency among many of today’s American parents. Many parents aren’t afraid to push their children really hard when it comes to athletics and emphasize the connection between hard work and athletic achievement. Strict standards, scores, times, and rankings are accepted as necessary and accurate measures of athletic success.
Any type of cheating in sports is unacceptable to parents and coaches and would be met with strict consequences. Hard work, effort, and athletic success are more important to most parents than athletic self-esteem.
