Best and Fairest Sports Parenting

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Every parent wants to do the right thing by their sports-playing children. The problem is that no-one tells us exactly what the 'right thing' is.

Sure, we get bombarded with a list of things not to do, and we receive basic instructions on how to behave—stay quiet, understand this is not professional sport, hand your kid over to the coach and pick them up after training. Most of these rules are designed because sporting associations don't trust their parent group to do the right thing.

Best and Fairest Sports Parenting is designed to outline exactly what the right thing looks like, and to increase the level of enjoyment between parents and their kids.

Your child may go on to become a professional player, and that's great if it's what they want. However, the best outcome you can hope for is that when they grow into adults, you can both reminisce about their formative sports-playing years with heartfelt fondness, enjoyment, and love.

About the Author

Nathan started his career as a schoolteacher before the demands of AFL football took over. In a career that spanned seventeen seasons at St Kilda FC, he captured numerous individual awards while captaining his Club, his State, and representing Australia in the International Rules Series. His individual highlight was being awarded the AFL Hall of Fame Membership and Legend Status in the St Kilda Hall of Fame. Post-football, Nathan has started his own consulting company which focuses on high performance, resilience and leadership. He juggles this role with coaching elite-level Women's AFL at the Western Bulldogs. When he isn't imparting wisdom to parents, coaches and players at the grassroots level of sport, he loves nothing more than standing on the side-lines, supporting his three daughters.
