With parents, in most cases, the most influential people in a young person’s life, do we do enough to engage with them and bring them into the sporting process?
Parents can be major allies of a coach and by getting to know them and their backgrounds on a personal level it can be of major benefit to all parties.
If managed correctly, parents may be able to positively reinforce our messages and values at home, leading to clarity and consistency for young people – something that is crucially important, particularly with everything that we have all recently been through.
