Anyone watching this? On Channel 4 now.

'This Cutting Edge film follows four parents doing all they can to get their children to the top. Have these child champions really got what it takes? If not, how will they and their parents cope with defeat?'

Clip below. Some very scary parents, especially golf dad and the dad who stopped working, cashed in his savings to fund taking his tennis playing 9yr old daughter's career, taking her to the star's coach in California every few months! There's passionate, and there's passionate :eek:
