Positive Sport Parent/Caregiver Self-Assessment: Supporting My Athlete

Positive Coaching Alliance’s mission is to change the culture of youth sports so that every child, regardless of social or economic circumstance, has access to a positive youth sports experience. A positive sport parent/caregiver acknowledges the many benefits that sports done right can have and supports their athlete in recognizing and developing life skills. A positive sport parent/caregiver also keeps in mind the effect that their words and actions can have not only on their own athlete, but all others on the team.

Identifying successes and where you can improve is the first step in being the best sport parent/caregiver you can for your athlete. Assess yourself using the worksheet below.
