You probably:

• are a volunteer parent - the person who raises his or her hand for everything. Welcome to the continued world of a thankless job at best. Want some recognition? Mess this up and everyone will call you!

• have little to no experience in making a bulk purchase - I mean who buys in bulk other than at Sam's Club? And even if you buy wrong, the only upset people are in your family - you can handle that

• can't figure out what to wear each day. And, while women look great by the time they're finished changing a million times, men aren't as fortunate. I mean, c'mon, we've all seen what you wear out on the soccer fields. Now, imagine making a "cool" decision that meets your budget for your entire team or club.

• have significant budget responsibility. We're not talking Ginsu knives here that you can pass along to your "favorite" brother-in-law for his birthday if you don't like them. We're talking about a minimum of a couple hundred bucks for a team and thousands of dollars if you're lucky enough to buy for the entire club. Depending on your means you're probably making one of the top three or four biggest purchases in your life (house, car, boat or motorcycle and soccer uniforms)

• are nervous about making the "right" choice because you realize your reputation is on the line in the community.
