“It’s fun,” Mahomes said. “Like, those are like the best days. It’s like what you wanted to be as like a kid, going out there, just having fun with your friends. And so, yeah, yesterday it was raining, so we got out there, and me and the other coaches kind of looked around at each other, and then we were just kind of like, ‘Let’s play. Let’s just have fun.’

That’s a refreshing attitude, because overbearing parents are an issue at youth sports, A 2025 report from the U.S. Center for SafeSport f who had been verbally harassed or abused said the source was most often parents of athletes.
One coach said in that report: “Parents. They created tension. They instilled distrust. They were worse than children.”
Mahomes said he can’t get to all of Bronze’s games, but when at the youth field, it’s not his role to critique the coaches.
“Yeah, I’m not the coach though, so I just try to be the dad, and I just try to get there whenever I can. They played on a day that I was able to get there after I left the facility, and so I just want to support him in every way. Let the coaches coach, and then just try to give him tips on the car ride home. You know, it’s about being a dad more than being a professional athlete, and I think that that’s where I gotta kind of be at whenever we go to these things.”
