Engage (Parent-Coach Relations)
Building Positive Relationships with Your Young Athletes’ Parents
- Sport

Course Overview
Parents play a crucial role in their children's development and engagement with sport and physical activity.
When it comes to sport, parents can either be your biggest ally or greatest obstacle, often with no middle ground. They can either spark or spoil the development process—depending on how we as coaches educate, engage, and collaborate with them.
Parents have the ultimate influence over their children, and it is up to us to find ways as coaches to channel this in the most positive way for the child playing sport.
Based on years of experience working with coaches at all levels, this course equips coaches with what they need to know in this challenging part of coach education.
