Being a Sports Parent is Hard. Raising an Athlete is Hard. Parents: As you start this fall sports season, remember... - What you do matters. - What you say matters. - How you parent matters. As a parent, you impact the culture of the team! Here are 5 Critical Lessons for Sports Parents: 1. It is Your Child's Experience, Not Yours! Remember that this athletic journey is your child's, not yours. Allow them to own their successes AND failures. Support them without dictating their path. 2. Have a TEAM First Focus - As much as you love your child, remember it is a TEAM sport. It's all about the team, not just your child. Teach them the value of teamwork and collective success. Show them how to sacrifice ME for WE. Celebrate their teammates' Successes! 3. Embrace the Struggle of Team Sports - Accept the struggle of team sports. Embrace the highs and lows. Help your child understand the value of perseverance and resilience. Struggles are part of growth and character development. 4. Navigate, Don't Plow - Be there for support, not to clear all obstacles. Allow them to navigate challenges and learn resilience. Being a snowplow parent denies them the chance to grow. 5. Find JOY in the Journey - Find happiness in the entire sports experience. Celebrate the small victories and lessons learned. The journey’s highs and lows are equally valuable. Teach your child to cherish every moment, win or lose. _____ Do you like this post? Then, you will love my free weekly newsletter. 🏆Great Teams - Better Leaders 123.
