All Sports Parents Must Read this by Allistair McCaw

Three interesting things college and elite athletes list as their worst memories playing sports growing up:

1. What was your worst experience as a child playing sports?
The drive back from a game/match. My parent/s wanting to talk about it and ‘get into it’.

2. Who did you enjoy most being present at your games/matches?
My Grandparents. They were just happy to be there and watch me. They didn’t judge or comment.

3. What was the worst thing their parents would do before they competed?
Compare previous results, talk about winning, or trying to give me coaching tips. It would in most cases conflict with what my coaches were saying.

What’s yours?
