Watch Summer HereRespecting Boundaries In The Parent-Coach Relationship
By Summer Sanders, Positive Coaching Alliance, April 4, 2018
In this clip, Sanders explains the importance of parents playing an appropriate role in their communication with children's coaches. When parents feel the need to intervene in the coach-athletes relationship, they should only address developmental issues, such as whether the athlete is having fun and what might help their children enjoy the sport more (short of addressing technical coaching issues and strategies). Within those bounds, Sanders is all for parents feeling empowered to talk with coaches about what will help their kids benefit most from sports.
