Description

You do want your child to enjoy their sport, develop character and if possible, excel at it. Sometimes that is not easy and is littered with potential pitfalls.

Based on scientific evidence, this easy to use book provides you with some simple tips and strategies to help you manage your child’s sporting experience on a day to day basis.

If you want to know more and dig a little deeper then check out our ‘Members Area.’

Here you will find extensive support for sporting organisations, coaches and parents supporting everyone to work together to create the best possible sporting experiences for young people.

Coaches CornerĀ provides resources and ideas for coaches on how to work effectively and in partnership with parents, whilst also supplementing our coaches books,Ā ‘Engage’Ā andĀ ā€˜Two Hats.’

The Parent ZoneĀ includes exclusive content created by the team at WWPIS as well as regular guest items from leading practitioners around the world.

There are exclusive video’s in ā€˜The Expert View’ and ā€˜Meet the Parents’ series and a section calledĀ ‘Dad – it doesn’t help!’Ā written by Australian author Mark Maguire.

This supplements our best selling books for parents,Ā ā€˜Sports Performance Parenting’ andĀ ā€˜Great Sports Parenting.’

TheĀ ā€˜Holistic Development’ area provides specialised information on a variety of topics from leading practitioners in their field, completing a 360 degree guide for parents to help provide the best levels of support for their sporting children.

This area is headed by Maimee Titmuss Morris (UK Sports Institute Performance Lifestyle Coach and well-being lead for the World Class Programme with British Gymnastics) and Jane Holden (UK Sports Institute Lifestyle coach and pathway well-being consultant / mental health instructor for TASS).

A lot of this material has never been made available to parents and coaches before unless they are playing at elite level or playing professionally in the world of sport.

  1. Gordon MacLelland – 27th July 2018

    A small palm sized book.
    Handy tips for those that need to think again. (Dave French)

    This is a fantastic insight into how we behave as parents when our children are playing sport. It is very easy to get carried away in the moment and be angry at your child when they are losing or you donā€t think they are trying hard enough. To be objective and supportive is often very hard to do in the middle of a game, but this is what Gordon says is necessary, After reading this book, I think we all need to take a step back as parents and think about how we are portraying ourselves out on the playing field and question whether we are an actual ā€˜supporter’ or just there to moan and criticise. (Steven Sanders)

    Brilliant. Bought two more copies. (Michael Briggs)

    Superb idea for a book, so many parents get it wrong on the touchline from generation to generation, Gordon Maclelland sets about trying to break the vicious cycle of a child being shouted at on touchline by their parent (more often than not father) then doing it to their own child when they grow up. Sport is such a powerful vehicle in the lives of many young people and so often the people that love them most ruin it for them before they have a chance to flourish. Would recommend this book to anyone who has young children or grandchildren and wants to learn how best to support them in sport. (John Stuart)

    How refreshing to have common sense explained in such a constructive format.
    This guide should have been written decades ago when I would have benefited from its sage advice.
    The author is obviously passionate about all aspects of sport and is clearly well qualified to pass on his observations based on practical experience.
    I shall certainly be purchasing a further two copies for my children so that they can act responsibly when dealing with our sports mad grandchildren.
    We shall all be better people after reading this thought provoking tome. (Ray Wilson)

    A fantastic helpful book, this is a must have purchase for parents and coaches to ensure children get the very most from taking part in sport. Gordon obviously has great experience and also draws upon this and speaking to other parents to put the information across in a fun and informative way, highly recommended 😊 (Mike Jones)

    A nice guide and read for parents who have children involved in sport.
    The pocket guide nature of the book is well set out and easy to understand and I would highly recommend this for parents, coaches who wish to gain a deeper understanding of relationships between parents and the sport children are involved in.
    Get it bought well worth it! (Daniel Dobranski)

    Well worth reading; this little book talks a lot of sense, doesn’t preach, and covers everything. It strikes just the right tone for parents of children with all ranges of aptitude and skill with lots of sensible pointers for ultimately enjoying a healthy perspective on sport, its ups and its inevitable downs, together with our children.
