This may not be the case worldwide but seems to be the case in North America & some countries like UK , Australia etc.
This is the complaint I heard from many pips players , usually older players who play close to the table and use disruptive rubbers.
It looks like parents go crazy because they feel that all the hard earned money they spend trying to turn their children into top spin only Olympic players using dumb rackets goes to waste when the children start losing to older all spins diversity table tennis players.
I also hear stories how one parent actually beat up a child or many parents verbally abusing their children once they start losing to all spin diversity table tennis athletes.
One tactic I was told (I should not be saying this because then more will start using this tactic) is that children take 10 minute time outs or just spend lot of time talking to their coaches or parents between points.
Other tactics I was told was that parents actually bring many friends to loudly cheer or try to disrupt the older players
One player told me that this parent actually brought over as many 10 friends as tactical disruptors LOL
I fully understand everyone wants children to win & thrive and that is fine
But the problem comes only when they start to resort to totally unethical & sleazy tactics & children grow up to be ruthless robotNazis
Are desperate & clueless parents turning their children into ruthless robotNazis?
