5 Behaviors of High-Performing Sports Parents Parenting in youth sports has developed into a significant talking point in recent times. Unfortunately, most of this discussion centers on overbearing behavior which ultimately inhibits youth development instead of nurturing our youngsters to flourish. But what about the sport parents who do a sensational job in supporting their youngsters to fulfill their amazing potential? Call them the “high-performing parent” if you will.

Your Body Language Never Lies By David Benzel As parents, we’re communicating every single second of every single day. Mouth open or mouth closed, the message is getting out. Your attitude about your child and her play, your sense of admiration…or not, and what you think about her efforts is transmitted in subtle ways for her – and everyone else – to read. Approximately 55% of all communication is transmitted by body language. I’m amazed at how many parents continue to behave as if they are invisible or as if...
