Parenting in Youth Sport : From Research to Practice Paperback / softback
by Nicholas Holt, Camilla Knight
Paperback / softback
Description
Being the parent of a young athlete is a complex and challenging endeavour.
Parents play a pivotal role in the development of young people in reaching their full potential in sport – indeed, the psychological and practical support of parents can be as vital to young athletes as the appropriate coaching and facilities.
This book brings together current research into the impact of parenting in youth sport and examines the relationships between athletes, coaches and parents, whilst also discussing topics such as parenting styles, behaviour at competition and talent development.
This book not only outlines the theories of parenting in youth sport, but also utilises research and examples from several countries, including the UK, US, Canada, and Australia.
It has a research-to-practice theme and includes numerous suggestions for research projects (and getting research published).
Parenting in Youth Sport is an essential text for students, lecturers and practitioners with an interest in youth sport, sport psychology or sport development.
