How to be
a Winning Parent
(10/27/2008)
If you want your
child to come out of his youth sports experience
a winner, (feeling good about himself and having
a healthy attitude towards sports) then he needs
your help! You are a vital and important part of
the coach-athlete-parent team. If you do your
job correctly and play YOUR position well, then
your child will learn the sport faster, perform
better, really have fun and have his self-esteem
enhanced as a result.
Building on the
last article on this site, Dr. Alan Goldberg, of
Competitive Advantage, gives more
tips and in depth information about successful
sport parenting.
