2. Understand what your child wants from sports, and provide a supportive atmosphere for achieving these goals.
3. Set limits on your child’s participation. Don’t make sport everything in your child’s life; make it a part of life.
4. Turn your child over to the coach at practices and games— don’t meddle or coach from the sidelines.
5. Make sure the coach is qualified to guide your child through the sport experience.
6. Keep winning in perspective, and help your child do the same.7. Help your child set challenging but realistic performance goals
rather than focusing only on “winning the game.”8. Help your child understand the valuable lessons sports can
teach.9. Help your child meet responsibilities to the team and to the
coach.10. Supply the coach with information on any allergies or special
health conditions your child has.
