The Role of Parents in Athletics

Written for Parents of Athletes

This booklet is taken from a chapter in my book Teaching Character Through Sport – Developing a Positive Coaching Legacy. It focuses on the parent’s role from the perspective of the athlete. The booklet talks about what parents can do to help performance, and increase enjoyment before the game, during the game and after the game. The summary gives bullet points the roles of the player, the coach and the parents. Be a confidence builder and part of their good memories.
