520 _a"Today [2005], psychologists and coaches agree that many parents have become more passionate--obsessed, in some cases--about their children's athletic pursuits than mothers and fathers of the past. Micromanaging a child's sports career and agonizing over his or her success on the playing field may be the most public expression of the so-called 'helicopter parent' phenomenon; that is, the tendency of today's moms and dads to 'hover' over their children."
