Conversation with a parent after presenting the Role of Parents of Athletics and asking them to think back to their most vivid memories as an athlete… A 35-40 year old woman came up to me afterward and said, “All the way through HS my dad would never come to a game unless I was starting and if I wasn’t playing well, he would get upset and leave. In some ways it motivated me but mainly it made me sad. He died before I was strong enough to talk to him about it.” Do not attach the value of the child to the quality of athletic performance.
