10 Promises of a Great Sports Parent
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
- Your child’s self-talk will be shaped by the words they hear from you following their training or competition. Sports research indicates that a child’s self-talk, the internal messages a child tells themselves, parrots the affirming or discouraging words they hear from the adults around them. The words we utter can enhance a child’s belief in themselves and their courage to be who they are designed to be. The words you share with your child leaving the Arena are very important. Choose wisely!
"Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit."
