TIPS TO EFFECTIVE PARENTING IN YOUTH ATHLETICS
-
Remember that winning isn’t important.
-
There are many aspects of youth sports that are far more important than your child’s team winning the basketball game. If you hold yourself to that expectation, your child will notice.
-
Focus on your child’s enjoyment.
- It’s better for a child to play on a weak team that emphasizes enjoyment, development, and allows the players to develop a passion for the sport, then a winning team that over-stresses commitment, intensity, and defeating opponents.
-
Let the coach do the coaching!
- And never undermine coaching decisions.
- Respect the ROLES of youth athletics, and the boundaries between them. When a child is being coached from two different directions, they are placed in the position of being forced to choose who they’re going to listen to and who they’ll ‘disappoint’. This is a pressure no child should have to endure in youth sports.
- If you can coach, please volunteer to coach a team at the beginning of the season. If you cannot commit to the team for an entire season, please focus on encouraging from the sidelines, and helping develop the fundamentals at home. Encourage teamwork, both individual and collective growth.
- Don’t be afraid to raise issues with the coach.
- Too often parents will refuse to ask to meet the coach and discuss a problem they have. Instead, they choose to share the problem with other spectators or players. This only exasperates the issue.
- If you ever have an issue, ask to set up a meeting with the coach and find a private location to ask your questions and discuss solutions. If your questions are approached respectfully and the right way, all good coaches will be happy to answer and discuss. Keep in mind that you must be willing to receive an answer you might not want to hear.
- Volunteer coaches are instructed to be receptive to parent/spectator feedback while enforcing healthy boundaries.
- The 24-Hour Rule: After games, allow yourself 24 hours before approaching to coach to discuss issues or questions about the game. Emotions run high after the buzzer sounds – let both parties cool-off and reflect before discussing.
- Feedback should never occur during practice or during games. Never allow a parent/spectator-coach interaction to distract from a situation where the kids’ participation should be the primary focus.
-
Allow your child to be coached.
- Trust the coach to do their job; sometimes expectations must be upheld, and players must be held accountable. We recognize the value of “tough love” while stressing the importance of tone and delivery method; coaches shouldn’t yell, demean, or blame the players, ever. But when rules or expectations need to be enforced, healthy discipline is undeniably beneficial developmentally.
-
Display good body language at games.
- Your child will always know exactly where you are in the gym during games and practices. They will look at you often, and you can never know when.
- Your body language displays your emotions and if yours is visibly negative, your child will notice and may misguidedly attest it to their performance.
- If you ever catch your child looking your way, make sure you smile and wave, showing them, you’ve enjoying being there.
-
Know your role at the game & don’t stand out from the crowd.
“It amazes me that spectators want to coach, coaches want to officiate, and officials just want to watch the game.”- The Four Main ROLES:
- Player – they play the game
- Coach – they coach the game
- Referee – they referee the game
- Spectator – they watch the game
- Any time a role is handing the duties of another, something is wrong.
-
Treat your child the same after a win or a loss.
- Don’t let the outcome of the game determine the way you interact on the car ride home. Remain positive, especially if they are down or upset. Your support for them is not contingent on the outcome of the game or their performance.
-
Don’t focus on “skill” stats, focus on “hustle” and teamwork” stats.
- Points are hard to score. Highlights are simple and spread apart. Don’t inflate the value of points scored, steals made, or assists thrown. Recognize them for helping their teammates up, setting good screens, boxing out for rebounds, dribbling, and shooting with proper technique. What are your ‘hustle’ stats? Reward hard work, NOT results! That’s not the focus at this age.
-
Never yell at the referees.
- We don’t expect our players to make 100% of their shots, so how can we expect referees to make the right call 100% of the time?
