CONCLUDING COMMENTS Being a parent is often challenging. This effort and responsibility is frequently complicated by being a parent of an athlete. The best way to help your athlete is to provide encouragement and to be positive, both at home and in the stands. Know that you are the most important person in your child’s life, and that he/she wants you to be proud of him/her. Be in the stands, rain or shine, cheering. Enjoy watching your child learn and grow as they experience the challenges of working hard to achieve set goals, overcoming obstacles and both winning and losing with grace and integrity. We sincerely hope you enjoy this year’s season.
