Exibido em:: Set 26, 2022

When it comes to children and sports, many believe there is a huge problem with entitled athletes. Are athletes being coached to believe they are individually more important than their teams and that the rules simply don't apply to them? Dr. Phil sits down with parents, athletes, coaches, and students who all say yes – but they strongly disagree about who is to blame. A coach claims parents are to blame due to modeling outrageous and entitled behavior. However, the sports parents in Dr. Phil's audience push back, claiming coaches need to stop blaming them and start blaming themselves. Then, meet a referee who wrote an emotional email to parents informing them he was quitting due to their sideline behavior. And, a former all-American quarterback talks about the dark side of college sports. Plus, ESPN investigative reporter Paula Lavigne reveals some of what she has uncovered.
