Main Point: "The point is not that Judy Murray is perfect, but that she doesn’t fit the image we’ve created of the sainted athlete mom."

Main Point: Judy Murray isn't the normal athlete mom. 

I don't agree that Judy Murray isn't the normal athlete mom. Many athlete moms know a lot about the sport that there child is playing. Many athlete moms are thought to just cook, clean, and get there child ready for practice. Then they are supposed to show up to games and cheer there child on with out being upset about wins and losses and trying to coach there child. Judy Murray happens to know everything there is to know about the sport that her son is playing and she gets into the game while she's watching it. Yes, some moms are like what most people expect the normal athlete mom to be, but many aren't. I believe that Judy Murray is a normal athlete mom and she should be allowed to coach her son and go to everyone of his games. I think she is a big part of her sons success in his sport.
