For Parents
PARENT INVOLVEMENT
Parents can play many roles in sports: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches.
Parents also are the first and most critical agents for socializing sports.
