Josette Plank:
As a sports parent, I will remember that the No. 1 goal of youth sports is to have fun.
I will tell my child to “have fun” without adding any ifs, ands or buts. I will not say to my child, “Have fun … but if you don’t score a goal, find your own ride home.”
As a sports parent, I will support my child in positive ways. …
Through youth sports, my child will learn commitment to a team. I will make sure my child is on time to practices and games. If my child cannot make a game or practice due to family obligations or illness, we will let the coach know as soon as possible. …
I may not be at every practice, and that is OK. I will see more improvement over time if I’m not scrutinizing every drill and workout. …
