Synopsis "Sports Parenting: Negotiating the Challenges of the Youth Sports Journey to Help Kids Thrive (in English)"
Parents are pivotal in allowing kids to pursue their sporting aspirations and enjoy all the benefits that youth sports have to offer. Despite being much relied upon and expected to assume a host of different roles at various stages, the sport parent has to date been under-served with resources to help them fulfil these responsibilities. Sports Parenting was written to fill this gap and takes a deep dive to explore how parents can best support young performers, whether they aspire to reach the highest level or simply wish to enjoy the positive social, developmental and life-long health aspects. In an era when youth sports participation has become all the more vital to help kids flourish, parents seeking to provide their child with the best opportunities to enjoy these benefits face an ever-growing array of challenges. Surrounding organised youth sports is a multi-billion dollar industry, requiring the sport parent to be a discerning consumer. Each stage of the journey brings new trials and potential pitfalls that unsuspecting young performers and their parents can easily fall prey to. The book aims to provide readers with the knowledge to discern the best ways to support kids to negotiate the various challenges they face in their youth sports participation. Beyond supporting the aspiring high performer, an over-arching theme is how we can help kids to stay on the path and prevent them falling through the cracks along the way. To that end, we delve into the different facets of talent development to better understand the underlying processes. As well as providing deeper insights into the trials that kids face as the journey unfolds, the reader will come to understand how their role is likely to evolve so that they are equipped to handle the major transitions as they occur. In doing so, the reader will find new common ground and gain a shared understanding that will enable them to work collaboratively with sport coaches and the supporting cast of practitioners, teachers and others. Sports Parenting presents a guide to help parents and young performers navigate the youth sports journey. Informed by the relevant research literature and infused with wisdom gained from two decades overseeing within talent development pathways and working with young athletes on the ground, each section methodically walks the reader through the respective parts of the process and stages on the journey. Each chapter elucidates the key principles that parents can apply in different scenarios and closes with practical tips.
