Sports Performance Parenting Book

Sports Parenting can be one of the most challenging parental journeys, there is no such thing as a perfect sports parent. There is very rarely a one size fits all approach and yet there are so many things for us to navigate as parents in order to give our young sports people the very best support that we can.

This book explores the sports parenting journey and the different stages our children will go through. It provides opportunities for reflection, explores different scenarios you may encounter and offers a range of tools and strategies that you can experiment with.

We want your child to reach their potential both in and out of their gymnastics and want you to be able to enjoy it, guiding and encouraging them whilst setting them up for success in whatever walk of life they may end up in.

Ultimately without you we don’t have youth sports and we felt it was time to acknowledge and support the amazing sports parents out there.

The book features a host of interviews with Olympians, professional sportsmen and women, junior athletes and their families who all share their personal experiences of being involved in the sporting journey. From the gymnastics world this includes Georgia-Mae Fenton, Shannon Archer and their families.
