| Publisher Description: Your child can't play a sport without your active support. Being a good sports parent is like being a good school parent. This book was written by sports parents and experts for sports parents. This book gives practical advice on nutrition, safety, and the challenging time of college recruiting. The holistic approach is refreshing and the book is punctuated by hilarious, thought-provoking cartoons. In the first of three sections, the book offers smart, clear advice. It returns the importance of character-building to the sporting enterprise which reminds us that's what parenting should be about too. The book's straight to the point: protect your child from abusive coaching, watch out for the dangers of overtraining, burnout, and specializing too soon. These are the issues that strip the fun out of the sport and can potentially harm kids. One of the most powerful pieces of advice: listen to what children tell you and respond to their needs as opposed to your own. The second segment, The Sports Doctor is In. It shares valuable tips on sports safety and the dangers of overtraining and specializing too soon in a sport, and also the real dangers of contact sports and concussion. |
