I see no harm in treating every game like its a big game, every test like its the sat's . regardless of level- if the competitive juices are not flowing for any game, than why bother playing, yes, I think the parents take this very seriously as 1000's of dollars are spent and countless hours at the field, so what . I see nothing wrong with having a child get a good night sleep before a tournament, a test, a recital, whatever. if you don't take travel seriously, than why play . of course the big game does not matter in the grand scheme of life, but. why do anything in life half assed
