Speaker’s Bureau

Paradoxical Sports Parents

Speaker:
Dr. Denny Scott

Subject:
Athletics/Physical Fitness

Description:
Parents of athletes are often the biggest blessing and the biggest challenge of coaching. Some are very supportive while others are quick to criticize and second-guess. This workshop shares thoughts on how to communicate your philosophy of sports to the parents of your athletes and gives some practical advice on how you can make them more “a part of the team” without actually interfering what you are trying to do. Hopefully, you can get them “off your back” (or the referee’s back) and “on your side”. Ultimately, parents and coaches should have similar goals for the children.
