My own kids are grown; however, I am still coaching, and these are great guiding statements for coaches as well. And I will share it with the parents of the athletes I coach. Thanks.
Oh, Brad, I counted only seven guiding principles.
These are also good things to say to ourselves as adults. Kids can tell whether we enjoy the process and accept ourselves or beat ourselves up for every mistake. As a teacher, I see parents who are sure they aren’t putting too pressure on their kids, but those same parents put so much pressure on THEMSELVES that the kids adopt the same attitudes.
