My Background
(Dobosz & Beaty, 1999)
(Gould, Voelker & Griffes, 2013)
Coaches and Parents' Role
-Competing in athletics from ages 2-19
-Coaching for 3 years
-What this topic means to me
-How about you?
-Captain does not equal leader
-Coaches need to instill those leadership qualities in their athletes
-Supportive parents' children were happy & enjoyed playing
- these children were at the bottom end of the rankings
-End goal of youth sports
- parents can lose sight of the true goal
- overbearing
