Are you a parent who is struggling to understand today's youth sports world and your child's path in athletics? Have you grown frustrated by the youth sports industrial complex and want to know how to create an exceptional sporting journey for your athletes? Have you heard about concepts such as confidence, mental toughness, and competitiveness, but are not quite sure how to help your athletic child develop these important character traits, while overcoming adversity and the inevitable ups and downs of playing sports? If so, this book is for you. In The Champion Sports Parent, Jerry Lynch and John O'Sullivan share their wisdom gained from decades of working with Olympians, World Champions, All-Americans, and over 100 championship teams. They have interviewed some of the world's top athletes, coaches, and authors on their Way of Champions podcast, conducted hundreds of workshops for coaches, parents and sports organizations across the globe, and helped their own children become successful competitive athletes. In this book, you will learn how to:
- Become a more self-aware parent
- Better understand the complexities of the youth sports journey
- Teach your child the secrets of winning the inner game
- Form better relationships with coaches
- Navigate difficult conversations and scenarios
As a result, you'll empower your children to become confident, competitive, and mentally tough athletes-setting them up for success in sports and in life. But don't just take our word for it: This book will help you to be more mindful in all your parenting especially when it comes to offering advice to your child before, during and after a game.
