Parental support important for
t youth who participate in sports
Youth spoits take commitment from both child
and parent, but knowing when to sit back and cheer
may be a parent’s hardest job.
“Sports teach us how to be successful in life,"said
Dr. Fran Pitozzolo, a neuropsychologist at Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston. "You leam to do
your test, to play within the rules, to make commit-
ments and to be prepared.”
The more emphasis that is placed on fair play,
having fun and challenging oneself, the tetter the
outcome for the child. Children often team these
values by seeing how theirparents react at work and
play.
If possible, Pirozzolo encourages parents to rein-
force the commitment to spons by tailoring their
schedules to meet their child’s practice and game
requirements.
But parental involvement, Pirozzolo says, should
not cross into the realm of coaching. He cautions
parents to work only on the fundamentals of a sport
with their child. Once a child joins a team, the
instruction should be turned over to the coaches.
“At practice and games, your rote is tocheeriead,"
he said. “Differing sets of instructions from* parents
and coaches can really put a child in conflict."
Pirozzolo, who is a psychologist for the Houston
Astros, encourages parents to ask their child how
they should behave at the game. Children often get
embarrassed when their parents yell instructions
every time they step up to the plate. A simply, ‘you
can do it!’ works test,” he said.
By supporting their child at the games, parents
also get A chance to see what values the coach is
teaching.
Parents should watch out for coaches who pro-
mote rule breaking and winning at all costs,”
Pirozzolo said. “If parents observe what they feel
are inappropriate behaviors for a coach, they should
ask the coach about what they observed.”
"If the behavior was out ofline,” he added, “the
next step is to report the coach to the authorities and
remove your child from the team.”
Children are the sum of all their experiences, and
the concepts learned through youth sports will last
a lifetime.
“Never underestimate the impact sports and your
support can have on a child,” Pirozzolo said, “and
don’t pass up the opportunity to praise yourchild for
doing his or her best, especially on the bad days."
