The competitiveness of high school sports is something many can relate to, and since sports are a way to get a scholarship, parents especially want to take advantage of that opportunity. Many parents often push their kids extremely hard in their sports to the point of it becoming not fun for the kids. Parents often pressure their children to do whatever it takes to win or be the best in their sport. They yell at referees, officials, and opposing teams and make the whole experience generally unpleasant and uncomfortable while sports are meant to be fun and exciting for the kids. In Trackbeth, Lady Macbeth is replaced by Mackenna Macbeth’s mother to get that point across. She pushes Mackenna to go through with the plot to injure those in her way in order to achieve power and superiority over her teammates.
