1-877-775-bills. picabo street is our interview on "coffee with." responseored by liberty mutual. ladies and gentlemen, picabo street. [ applause ] >> i've always thought you had to be crazy to downhill ski but you proved it with four kids, you're crazy. >> yes. i know. my brother says the same thing. but it's fun. they are all boys. we're all about sports. >> i want to jump right in. this is a huge sports town with basketball, soccer. you throw lacrosse into the mix here in baltimore and then baseball. i have always been under the feeling as a parent, there should be two different levels of recreational sports. one for parents who want their kids to try and get a scholarship and the second for parents who just want their kids to play sports and have fun. what is your thought on that? >> reporter: i couldn't agree more.

i think that as a parent having four boys i can definitely see which ones are competitive, which ones have a will to win and drive to succeed. and kind of are a little more into that tough love and coaching style. then i've got a couple that really just want to have fun, they are into the harmony of it and participation and i think the first and foremost, most important thing is as a parent be involved in your kids' lives and know what kind of character you've got there and what kind of program is going to benefit them. i think one of the things that has been so interesting about my relationship with liberty mutual insurance is they've done a responsible sports survey. they've found out crazy statistics of this disharmony if you will, having to do with parents and coaches and their perspective on the whole youth sports experience. that has been really enlightening for me. it's kind of answering questions as to why i see so much irresponsible behavior on the sidelines. in skiing you're not seeing it so much, busy going down the

mountain. in many other fields you see irresponsible behavior going on by parents. these statistics explained it for me. they say that parents place a higher emphasis and importance on a coach being more caring than they do about being skilled in their sport. and then a third of the coaches say that parents have an unrealistic expectation when it comes to winning. and they also say while three and four parents say that they put their kids in sports just so that they can have fun. then they get them on the sidelines and they are screaming and hollering obscenities trying to get their athlete to play better and to win and do better. the bottom line is it's a whole bunch of irresponsible behavior. so that is why i like this program so much. responsiblesports.com you can learn how to be a good parent, what your rules of engagement are, what the do's and don'ts are for behavior on the sidelines. how to educate yourself, familiarize yourself with with the rules of the game. and rules of engagement as a

parent. bottom line, just be involved, be there, don't be a part that says i'm about the program, you drop off your kids, run a bunch of errands and come back and get them, don't talk to the coach, don't learn about the organization. if you know your child and want them to have a good future you need to be involved in what they are doing. that is knowing the organization they are participating with, knowing the coach that is there, making a a probably profound difference in their lives. make sure you're all on the same page. >> i'm interested since this survey was sponsored by an insurance company. parents had to bring up sports injuries. everyone is so concerned about concussions and the like now. >> they say that 8 2% of parents are concerned about the risks. 82%. having to do with which sports their kids play but 47% of them don't let that fear be a part of the decisionmaking process as to what sports their child is going to play. again, you have to be really present. you've got to be involved. for me it's have a conversation with your child, have a conversation with the coach. have a conversation with the

organization. have a plan and strategy of any injury that may take place and what happens immediately with your child. for me, everyone who has my child on their team knows that, if there's any inch lynn of any -- inkling of any injury with my child, they will be taken out immediately, taken aside, examined and i will decide when the child goes back to the playing field. >> responsiblesports.com. everyone check it out. picabo street, great to have you on the show. >> thank you for having me. >> have a great fall and winter sports season. >> i'll do it. thank you. you too. >> just remember, spring lacrosse is just around the corner. thank you. in high school, jake maid high school sports. your son sam. >> both boys played. >> both boys played, yeah. you have to meld those who want the scholarship and those who
