1. Ask Questions: ask your child why he or she wants to play sports. Align your goals to their goals (not the other way around.)
2. Check
the Ego: do whatever it takes to create a
positive, aligned set of expectations with the ex for supporting the youth
athlete. Do you or the ex fit one
of the common profiles – overbearing; overcompensating; absent;
passive-aggressive; or obstructionist?
Check the ego. Do what is in
the best interests of the youth athlete.
3. Who’s Experience?: keep in mind that this is your son or
daughter’s youth sports journey. Don’t
use their experience as a way to relive past glories or make up for lost time....more sports parenting tips at "Zero Offseason" now available @ www.amazon.com
