Parent Zone
The ‘Parent Zone’ is the ultimate resource for all sporting parents whether your child is involved at grassroots level or in an academy/pathway programme.
The articles section is written exclusively by the team here at WWPIS and covers a wide range of topics from 'The car journey home' to 'Understanding how our children learn.'
There are regular guest blogs from leading practitioners from around the world as well as a video series, helping support parents further on their sports parenting journey.
The ‘Expert View’ series has been a real hit with parents joining us to ask experts for answers to all of their questions around a range of different topics.
‘Meet the Parents’ brings into your home some real life stories around sports parenting from parents going through the experience with their children. Stories include those in grassroots sport all the way up to those who are playing professionally.
‘Dad – it doesn’t help!’ brings an authentic look at life as a sporting parent with plenty of humour written for us by Australian author Mark Macguire, whose son currently plays in a Major League Baseball franchise.
