In this week’s vlog segment, I share with you my insights into what you as a sport parent can do for yourself to make your children’s athletic experiences as positive as possible for both them and you. As you well know, what you think, feel, and do as an active participant in your children’s athletic lives, you can influence how much they enjoy their sports and how well they perform.

Your young athletes are always watching you to see how you feel about their sports lives. How much do you care about their athletic involvement? Are you having fun? These are questions your children are constantly asking themselves to help them judge how they feel about their own sports experiences.

How involved you are in your young athletes’ lives, how much enjoyment you get out of sharing their sports participation, your emotions and demeanor at competitions, and what role their sports play in your own life all factor into how they perceive their athletic experiences.

Your goal is to present yourself as an absolutely positive and supportive parent for your young athletes.
