Those who coach youth sports sometimes go overboard with how seriously and intensely they push children to success at such a young age. It’s been seen in basketball and football and on Friday another video made the rounds on social media, shocking the tennis world.
The video in question, reportedly filmed in Serbia, showed a tennis coach kicking and slapping a female player. The coach then grabs her by the jacket and swings her down to the clay.
The man kicked the girl three times while she was on the ground. The abuse continued as the video played.
According to news.au.com, the video is of a 14-year-old girl and the coach in question appeared to be her father. Igor Jurić, a Serbian anti-violence advocate, initially posted the video on Twitter.
