This paper provides a brief summary and commentary on the growing literature on parenting in sport, with a particular emphasis on literature from the last 2-3 years. Following a brief introduction overviewing the topic area, we firstly focus on the influence of parental involvement on children. Specifically, we examine the range of factors that influence children's perceptions of parental involvement and the consequences of different behaviors. Next we discuss the factors influencing parental involvement, such as the challenges and stressors associated with parenting children in sport and the culture within different sports. Finally, our review focuses upon the strategies developed by parents to facilitate their involvement in their children's sport, as well as the few papers focused upon parent education and support. We conclude by examining the need for further research and examination of support strategies for parents.

“…Sin embargo, la oportunidad que tienen los contextos familiares para el fomento de recursos facilitadores y funcio- nales como por ejemplo compartir el tiempo libre, fomentar la comunicación entre padres e hijos (Raimundi et al, 2017), genera mayor libertad, competencia y bienestar en actividades de aprendizaje (Steca et al, 2011), así como mayor autoestima, autoeficacia, estabilidad emocional y ajuste psicológico general (Fagan, Day, Lamb, y Cabrera, 2014;Omli y La Voi, 2009). Basándonos en algunas propuestas aplicadas (Gimeno, 2006;Gómez-Espejo, Aroca, Robles-Palazón y Olmedilla, 2017;González-Hernández, Tomás-Macanás, Olivares, y Marín Irles, 2014;Vincent y Christensen, 2015), los padres también podrán formarse y ser entrenados para conseguir ser mucho más útiles en el asesoramiento y apoyo que ofrecen a sus hijos, y a conseguir que tal enseñanza sea complementaria a la que ofrecen los profesionales de los contextos deportivos, atendiendo a una primera fase de sensibilización y toma de consciencia; una segunda donde se marcan objetivos, decisiones y soluciones de problemas; y a una tercera fase de ensayo y utilización de pautas de conducta a aplicar en contextos de casa o incluso en los deportivos (padres realizando deporte junto a sus hijos). Hacer que las familias participen mantiene una dualidad a prestar atención: cuanto más apoyan y más activamente se implican (participación positiva) más comportamientos directivos emiten (parte negativa), ante la presión y la eventual contradicción a los técnicos (Ortiz-Marholz, Chirosa, Martín, Reigal y García-Mas, 2016).…”

RESUMEN: Reconocer cómo los esfuerzos que realizan los padres en cuanto a tiempo y dedicación en la práctica deportiva de sus hijos, resulta absolutamente relevante ante la organización del deporte infantil. Lo que durante décadas ha sido transmitido por la literatura científica, no parece tan evidente en el ámbito aplicado, donde la integración de la figura de los padres es muy escasa, incluso entendida como perjudicial en numerosas ocasiones. Desde hace ya 8 años, la LIGA BRAVE (Vega Baja del Río Segura, Alicante) persigue, a través de una competición en valores deportivos, que se desarrollen conductas deportivas en deportistas, padres y clubes de fútbol. Para ello, solicitamos la colaboración y participación de padres y clubes (cerca de 3000 personas y 44 clubes), para que, como modelos de comportamiento que son para los niños, atiendan al cumplimiento de normas conductuales que tendrán su repercusión para una clasificación final de Fair Play que se llevará paralelamente a la deportiva, y que supondrá la consecución de premios y reconocimientos a los jóvenes deportistas a final de temporada. A lo largo de todo el año, se van realizando diferentes propuestas de entrenamiento a los padres, que giran en torno a cinco objetivos específicos: a) generar un sentimiento positivo por la práctica del deporte; b) cómo mostrar el apoyo familiar a sus hijos; c) la utilidad que tienen los padres para favorecer el rendimiento deportivo; d) comprender la "doble carrera" rendimiento deportivo-escolar; y e) desarrollo de comportamientos positivos para convertirles en referencias en el deporte y la salud. Se concluye que los padres necesitan ser entrenados y asesorados como cualquier otra figura del ámbito del deporte infantil para mejorar la gestión de sus hijos, los comportamientos de deportividad y la comprensión de la labor de otros profesionales del ámbito, como el rol del entrenador y los árbitros. PALABRAS CLAVES: Deporte de iniciación, padres, modelos de comportamiento y liga brave. Train the parents, improve the team. The experience of BRAVE LEAGUE ABSTRACT: Recognizition of how the efforts made by parents in terms of time and dedication to the practice of sport by their children is absolutely relevant for organization of children's sports. What the scientific literature has transmitted for decades does not seem so evident in the applied field, where integration of the figure of parents is very scarce, and even often understood as harmful. For eight years now, the BRAVE LEAGUE (Vega Baja of Segura River, Alicante) has pursued, through a competition in sports values, the development of sports behaviors in athletes, parents, and football clubs. For this purpose, we requested the collaboration and participation of parents and clubs (about 3000 people and 44 clubs), as behavioral models for children, by complying with behavioral norms. This will have an impact on a final classification of fair play scored in parallel to the sport activity. Based on the classification, young athletes will receive awards and recognitions at t...

“…The model consists of two stages in which practitioners are first advised to help parents develop understanding of the sport; and second, help parents develop skills that foster a positive performance environment for their child. Most recently, Vincent and Christensen (2015) reported on a four-session parent workshop series with a group of parents from an elite youth soccer program. The program was designed from a collaborative language perspective in which consultants and parents were viewed as co-experts working together for the benefit of the child.…”

“…Indeed, Vincent and Christensen (2015) recently included SDT as a framework for assisting parents in reflecting on their sport communications. In explaining their theory, Deci and Ryan (1985;2000) proposed that in order for well-being and optimal functioning to occur, the essential supports of autonomy, competence, and relatedness need to be present.…”

Developing features of sport parenting expertise: an investigation and intervention

My intention for this thesis was to explore the influence of parent sport communications on children's development, and to embed resulting understanding within established theories and knowledge from wider fields of psychological enquiry.The aim was to guide the development and examination of an intervention aimed at improving parental fostering of children's optimal development through sport. The impetus for a final study came when, at the conclusion of the previously mentioned group parent intervention, an analysis of data revealed that one parent did not achieve desired improved communications with his daughter. Therefore, in Study 3 I conducted a seven-session (approximately one hour per session over 16 weeks) individual intervention designed to extend and individualize elements of this parent's iii previous group intervention participation. Results indicated that the participant improved BPN support for his daughter post-intervention.iv
