Parents/Caregivers
Parents/Caregivers impact their children’s lives like no other people can…in sports as in every other aspect. Parents/Caregivers, even those millions who coach their own kids, do best by their athletes when focusing on sports as a developmental opportunity, rather than a do-or-die, win-at-all-cost proposition.
Along the lines of a Positive Coach who pursues winning and the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports, a Positive Parent is a parent/caregiver who focuses on that Second Goal, the life lessons. Unconditional love for their children regardless of athletic performance and a relentless commitment to helping them process the ups and downs of youth sports marks the positive sports parent.
