For Parents

The title of the book, Sports and Your Young Athlete, indicates that it is written primarily for parents. The emphasis is on how to avoid psychological and physical pitfalls, while at the same time creating a relationship with the young athlete that fosters personal development in sports and beyond. The desire of all parents to raise “champions in sports and life” is the focus of Sports and Your Young Athlete, making the volume an essential read for dedicated parents.


We are also introducing the parent educational video entitled, Mastery Approach to Parenting in Sports (MAPS). The 43-minute MAPS video teaches parents how to create a mastery climate—a learning environment that emphasizes skill development, personal and team success, maximum effort, and fun.
