Selk’s latest title may be the best yet:
Parenting the Elite Athlete: Helping our children become happy and healthy
Parenting by itself can be extremely challenging. Parenting in today’s world of constant activities and demands on our children can strain our parenting abilities to their maximum. In this DVD, Jason helps parents develop a system that creates balance in our lives while dealing with stress and other life problems. Parenting for Greatness is a must for any parent with a child in competitive athletics.
Every coach knows that the odds of success double or triple if the parents are on side with the coach. Many of us could do a better job of educating our parents.
This might be a good resource to keep on hand at the gym to loan out to parents when needed.
It’s featured on the GymSmarts home page right now along with the latest release from Tammy Biggs: Developing Body Shapes. She’s awesome. I love how she simplifies the sport.
