"It's so hard to get officials for sports nowadays because of the parents and their feedback," she shares. "There's only going to be so many calls that are going to be right and are going to be wrong. Hopefully it's split fairly even and we go with it, but there's not instant replay in youth soccer. So I think we can just sit down. We can calm down."
"The coaches are there for a reason, right? They're there because they know how to mentor kids, or they are experts in the sport, or hopefully both,"
"But they're in that position for a reason, and so you should let them coach."
"Let their coach be their coach."
Kylie Kelce urges parents to be supportive and to refrain from negative sideline behavior during youth sports. She emphasizes that coaches hold expertise and mentorship roles and should be allowed to coach without parental interference. She warns that persistent negative commentary discourages officials from working youth games, reducing the availability of referees. Kelce recommends discussing a child's performance privately at home after games rather than confronting coaches or officials on the field. She is partnering with Dove on a Super Bowl ad promoting joy and confidence for girls in sports. She seeks a balanced approach between seriousness and toughness as a coach and parent.
