The downtime imposed on us by the COVID-19 crisis has certainly been frustrating whether you’re an athlete, coach, or parent. As an athlete, you may feel that your development has been slowed or come to a screeching halt. But, with the fall upon us and sports at every level starting to re-emerge, you have a great opportunity to focus on areas of your athletic performance that you haven’t had time to devote to, for example, your conditioning, your nutrition, or, very importantly, your mental training.
It’s also a great time for you coaches to fill your coaching toolbox with valuable tools, so when you return to the field, court, course, hill, rink, or what-have-you, you’ll be able to offer your athletes even more to help them strive toward to their sports goals and to maximize their enjoyment in your sport.
Lastly, in addition to being a so-called sport parenting expert, I’m also the father of two young athletes, so I can personally attest to the challenges of raising young competitors. Like me, I’m sure you’re always looking for ways to be the best sport parent you can be.
