The determining factor in whether a child between the ages
of six and seventeen enjoys athletics is his or her parents -- not the sport,
coach, or team. Yet, parents are often unaware of how their behavior and
expectations impact their child's experience.
In 101 Ways to Be a Terrific Sports Parent, Dr. Joel Fish, a
sport psychologist who is also the dad of three young athletes, shares both
his clinical expertise and practical experience to help parents develop a
deeper understanding of the many issues that surround the young athlete. For
athletes of all skill levels, from Little League to high school, Dr. Fish
discusses how to:
- Help your child reach his or her full athletic potential
- Develop strategies to deal with competitive pressure
- Know if you're too involved or not involved enough
- Interact successfully with your child's coach, and more
With insights into the different developmental and
self-esteem issues facing girls and boys, information on parenting a superstar
athlete, and special tips for single parents, 101 Ways to Be a Terrific Sports
Parent will help any parent make sports a memorable and happy experience for
their child.
