Most parents want their child to be successful at sports, but kids should also be doing what they love and not what others expect them to do. As a parent, you want your child to be the best they can be, but it is important to realize that there are limits to what children can achieve, and that playing sports throughout their childhood is a learning process, and not necessarily preparing them for the "big time" leagues.
Too many parents today have taken away the fun that their children have playing sports by placing too many demands and greater pressure to perform. Sports injuries are way up in children, and some of it is caused by being pushed too hard by coaches and parents. Sometimes a child will push himself too hard as well.If you find that your child leaves the playing field frustrated, depressed, or angry, then you need to take this course!
If you as a parent have a hard time managing your behaviors and emotions while your child is participating in sports then this is a course you should not miss!
