10 Commandments for Sports
Parents
|
1.
Thou shalt not impose your ambitions on thy child. Remember that
sport is your child’s activity. Improvements and progress occur at
different rates for each individual. Don’t judge your child’s
progress based on the performance of other athletes and don’t push
them based on what you think they should be doing. The nice thing
about sport is that every person can strive to do his or her
personal best.
2. Thou shalt be supportive no matter what. There is only one
question to ask your child "Did you have fun?" If meets and
practices are not fun, your child should not be forced to
participate.
3. Thou shalt not coach your child. You have taken your child to a
professional coach; do not undermine that coach by trying to coach
your child on the side. Your job is to support, love and hug your
child no matter what. The coach is responsible for the technical
part of the job. You should not offer advice on technique or race
strategy. That is not your area. This will only serve to confuse
your child and prevent that athlete/coach bond from forming.
4. Thou shalt only have positive things to say at an athletic event.
If you are going to show up at an event, you should cheer and
applaud, but never criticize your child or the coach.
5. Thou shalt acknowledge thy child’s fears. A first event can be a
stressful situation. It is totally appropriate for your child to be
scared. Don’t yell or belittle, just assure your child that the
coach would not have suggested the event if your child was not ready
to compete in it.
6. Thou shalt not criticize the officials. If you do not have the
time or the desire to volunteer as an official don’t criticize those
who are doing the best they can.
7. Honor thy child’s coach. The bond between coach and athlete is a
special one, and one that contributes to your child’s success as
well as fun. Do not criticize the coach in the presence of your
child; it will only serve to hurt your child’s performance.
8. Thou shalt not jump from team to team. The grass isn’t
necessarily “greener on the other playing field”. Every team has its
own internal problems, even ’teams that build champions. Children
who switch from team to team are often ostracized for a long, long
time by the teammates they leave behind. Often times, athletes who
do switch teams never do better than they did before they sought
the, “greener field”.
9. Thy child shalt have goals besides winning. Giving an honest
effort regardless of what the outcome is, is much more important
than winning. One Olympian said, "My goal was to set a world record.
Well, I did that, but someone else did it too, just a little faster
than I did. I achieved my goal and I lost. This does not make me a
failure, in fact, I am very proud of that swim."
10. Thou shalt not expect thy child to become an Olympian. There are
thousands of athletes in the United States. There are limited spots
available for the Olympic Team every four years. Your child’s odds
of becoming an Olympian are 1 in about 5,000. Participating is much
more than just the Olympics. Ask your coach why he coaches. Chances
are, he/she was not an Olympian, but still got enough out of
athletics that he/she wants to pass that love for the sport on to
others. Athletics teaches self-discipline and sportsmanship; it
builds self-esteem and fitness; it provides lifelong friendships and
much more. Most Olympians will tell you that these intangibles far
outweigh any medal they may have won. Athletics builds good people
and you should be happy your child wants to participate.
