The hardest jobon the sideline.
Sessions for parents on the part of the role nobody prepares you for: the car ride, the selection they did not get, and the difference between supporting and steering.
Honest, practical, and free of the implication that you have been doing it wrong.
Written for parentswho care a lot.
Nearly every parent in the room is there because they care. That is not the problem. The problem is that caring a lot and helping are not automatically the same thing.
These sessions give parents language, not a list of rules.
- The drive home
- Better questions
- When to say less
- Coach relationships
- After a setback
- Repair
Delivered at clubs, schools and parent evenings.
What parents sayafterwards.
The most common reaction is relief. Most parents have been carrying a private worry that they are the only one getting it wrong.
Parents leave with:
- Language for the conversation after a hard game.
- A clearer line between their disappointment and their child's.
- A way to talk to a coach that is not a complaint.
- Permission to say less, and confidence that it is enough.
- Something to do when the season is going badly.
You do not need to be a sport psychologist. You need to be the person who is still normal when the result is not.
