Toxic youth sport parenting syndrome

By: Dr. Chris Stankovich | @DrStankovich | Jun 28, 2010

No Comments

Check out my latest column on parents and the potential damage that can happen when they let things get out of control during summer sports.  Parents need to prepare ahead of time for issues like playing time, player cuts, and making the transition to varsity sports in order to ensure a positive and successful youth sport experience.While most parents “get it” and do it right, we still have some that allow their emotions to get the best of them at youth sporting events. Additionally, summer travel leagues can contribute to increased chances for youth sports burnout, so it is important to keep an eye on symptoms like low motivation and lack of excitement (Sports Success 360).Make this summer the best one yet — youth sport success depends on parents and coaches working in tandem to ensure kids are safe and having fun while competing.  Whether you are involved in pop warner, AAU, little league, or pee wee sports, the success your child experiences in sports depends on your sport role modeling and sports leadership commitment.Also, be sure to check out our always expanding product line designed to immediately help with holistic training and development:www.drstankovich.com
