THOUGHTS FOR PARENTS WITH CHILDREN IN SPORTS

 

  • Make sure that - win or lose - you still love them are not disappointed with their performance!
  • Be realistic about your child's physical abilities.  Not all children grow or mature at the same rate.
  • Help your child set realistic goals.
  • Emphasize improved performance, not winning.  Positively reinforce improved skills.  Swimming is a sport in which you constantly compete against yourself.  If they have improved, they are doing GREAT!
  • Don't relive your athletic past through your child!
  • Provide a safe environment for training and competition.  This includes proper training methods and use of equipment.
  • Control your emotions at meets.  Don't yell at other swimmers, coaches, or officials.
  • Be a cheerleader for your swimmer and the other swimmers on the team.  Children learn a lot by example.
  • Respect your child's coaches.  Communicate openly with them.  If you disagree with their approach, discuss it with them at appropriate times.
  • Be a positive role model.  Enjoy sports yourself.  Set your own goals, set a healthy lifestyle.
