In the second of our podcasts on parental involvement, we take a deep dive into what it's like parenting young athletes who compete in competitive sport and how safeguarding is paramount.
Mel, our CPSU Information Officer, is joined by Jen and Lisa, two sports parents whose young athletes compete at a high level.
We'll be hearing about:
- the reality of being a sport parent for higher performance young athletes
the competitive sport community - the importance of parental support in sport clubs and organisations
- parent/coach trust
- choosing the right club for your young athlete
- parental behaviour at matches and how it's managed
