Power of Positive Sports Parenting – Workshop

The Youth Sports Mental Health & Wellness Alliance is proud to offer an upcoming workshop to highlight the impact parents have on positive mental health & wellness in sports. The Power of Positive Sports Parenting, in partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance, will equip coaches with practical strategies to help parents and caregivers contribute to a positive and welcoming sports experience for everyone involved.

Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in creating a positive culture in youth sports. By aligning their approach with coaches and program administrators, they can better support athletes, coaches, and the wider team community.

The tools provided will:

• Align the goals of parents and coaches with those of the athletes.
• Support athletes’ mental wellness through empathy.
• Model and reinforce a positive sports culture.
• Build and effective coach-parent partnership.
• Foster a sense of belonging within the team community.

Although this program is designed for parents, participating in the training will enhance your ability to promote the best interests of the athletes and the team.
