Talking to Dr. Gamble Author of "Sports Parenting: Negotiating the Challenge"

Parents are pivotal in allowing kids to pursue their sporting aspirations and enjoy all the benefits that youth sports have to offer. Despite being much relied upon and expected to assume a host of different roles at various stages, the sport parent has to date been under-served with resources to help them fulfil these responsibilities. Sports Parenting was written to fill this gap and takes a deep dive to explore how parents can best support young performers, whether they aspire to reach the highest level or simply wish to enjoy the positive social, developmental and life-long health aspects.
