For the parents
Sport parenting is one of the most important - and sometimes most challenging - roles in the life of a young performer. Being a parent is often hard enough; being the parent of a young athlete combines the increased pressure of a competitive environment with our deep desire to see our children succeed.
The results of this mixture can sometimes lead parents to create unintended complications in their child’s ability to thrive through sport, and can even disrupt the sport environment itself.
Your support is crucial to their development.
Luckily, there is a growing body of research out there that can help guide parents in fulfilling their one-of-a-kind, all-important role in a way that supports and benefits their child’s development and well-being, the growth of the team, and the culture around the team.
Through presentations, conversations, activities, and question-and-answer sessions, parents will have the opportunity to learn new ways to accompany and support their children, and help them grow through their sport experience.
