Do you expect that to be the focus, or at least a major focus, of the program? In that case, yes, I'd find it dull. I was hoping for a program focusing on the children themselves, and/or on their teams. However, I wouldn't mind a substantial focus on a parent who was also a coach, and more than just a bag holder.

Actually, come to think of it, in the past I tended to find dull the "up close and personal" stuff about competitors of any age, preferring distant & impersonal, I guess.
