Any parent would agree that they would want their children to view sports
participation as a means of enjoyment, leading an active lifestyle, learning new
skills and accumulating valuable life lessons.
Long Story Short, a Parent’s Role
Is…
1.) To keep an open ear and to pay careful attention to your child’s feelings
and opinions about participating in sports
2.) To provide unceasing love, care and support whether your child wins or loses a game
3.) To make your child aware that winning isn’t everything, but doing their best is
4.) To encourage your child to be self-sufficient and to stand by every decision or action he or she makes
5.) To support your child in his or her other non-sports activities, to be able to raise a more well-rounded child
6.) To encourage your child to have fun and set his or her own standards of excellence; remember, this is not about you, but about your child
7.) To provide support, encouragement and sympathy whenever needed
8.) To stress that getting into sports is all about enjoying themselves and having the time of their lives
