The “Coach the Coaches-Coach the Parents Program”
It’s difficult for sports parents and coaches to watch their young athletes physically and mentally under-perform in sports and lose self-esteem due to fear, doubt and tentativeness. It’s hard to stand idle and watch. The solutions are not obvious. However, you, as a parent, can learn how to respond to your athletes’ fears, doubts, and frustrations. You can develop happy, successful kids who are “mentally tough” in sports - and life! A child or teen athlete may possess all the talent in the world. But if he or she can't "get their head and body in the game" and have them selves, parents, and coaches unknowingly limit potential, their performance will suffer and they will be unhappy. Below are classic examples those parents, coaches, and athletes concerns: Mom’s Basketball Daughter Freezes Up During Games "My 13-year-old, plays AAU girls basketball. She does great in practice, but she often is a completely different player during games. Her mind is filled with doubts and indecisiveness. She freezes in games and plays tentatively, then she gets down on herself for not performing well." Dad and Mom In The Stands “I am a 14-year-old basketball player. Basketball is my favorite sport and I love to play it. I play on the varsity team and hope someday to receive a scholarship. However, during games my parents constantly coach me and I obsess over what they are saying about my performance. I worry about having to do everything just right and it’s makes we worry about my game.” Poor Coaching Crushed Son’s Confidence “My 16-year-old son just finished this football season with some of the worst coaching I've seen. He started at quarterback, is very athletic and extremely intelligent, and LOVES football… He finished his season with his confidence absolutely crushed by the coaching he was subjected to. Not only has his game suffered, for the first time he is afraid the game has passed him up, plus he is having difficulty keeping his grades up. How do I begin to help him? Children Immediately Focus on the Negative After Mistakes “I have a daughter who plays softball and son who plays baseball. She seems sabotaged before even stepping into the batters box. He is an awesome hitter in the cage while practicing hitting, but doesn't make good contact, during a game. Are these problems related?
