My son Jeff and I were talking about parenting of athletes. Jeff is a youth sports coach, working with many athletes and their parents. The discussion led to me talking about him as a youth athlete, so it progressed to Jeff talking about me as a sports parent. It is very interesting to hear from our children how our parenting effects their fun in sports and furthermore, how it effects their motivation and performance. Ask your son or daughter, I am sure they will enlighten you.
