Youth Sports: Impact on Parents

September 21st, 2009 by Stacie | Print

I’ve seen a LOT of cases where parents are just wayyyyyy too serious about their child being in sports. They are just so intense from a young age and I think some are just so way over the top. Others can only see their child through rose colored glasses. While there are many negative stories of parents being involved with youth sports, I just came across an article that talks about some benefits for parents of kids in sports including:

  • Better spousal communication
  • Improved time management skills
  • Motivation to learn
  • and a few more

Read the full article at the Washington Post.
