“…These findings are consistent with the work of Bloom (1985), which affirms that developing athletes are able to progress over time without direct guidance from their parents. The findings suggest that tangible and informational support increased in early years of athletic development and decreased in later stages, while companionship persisted throughout athletic development (e.g., Dorsch, Smith, & Dotterer, 2016). Alternatively, our findings did not adequately reflect emotional support, which has been described as parents offering encouragement and reassurance in times of frustration or stress (Côté & Hay, 2002).…”

A vast body of research focuses on the role of parents in athlete development; however, little is known about developmental influences of siblings. In general, family dynamics (i.e., patterns of relating or interacting among family members) have yet to be investigated in youth sport contexts. This study examines how family dynamics and the individual roles of parents and siblings influence the development of Canadian interuniversity student-athletes over time. Participants included four male and six female student-athletes. Each participant took part in a qualitative retrospective timeline interview. All data was subjected to a thematic analysis. Results indicate that siblings and parents play separate yet intricately connected roles in athlete development throughout childhood and adolescence. Overall, participants described a cohesive family unit built on shared values and joint participation in sport activities. They described stable and dynamic forms of support from their parents over time, and positive and negative sibling influences. These findings offer valuable insight into the dynamic nature of parent and sibling relationships with athletes in youth sport and beyond, as well as how these relationships operate in the broader family environment to optimize (and, at times, hinder) athletic development.

“…It has been noted that there are those who indeed do not use a sports coach, and instead learn from what is read/seen. In addition, parents with their own experience can be viewed as coaches, although it is apparent that in this situation there may be conflicts between coach and athlete due to parent-child ego, relationship and perception (Dorsch, Smith & Dotterer, 2016). Although anecdotal, this may provide explanation to why the results provided an insignificant finding.…”

The aim of the current study was to investigate Equestrian Sports Dynamics (Motivation, Coach-Athlete Relationship, Self-Efficacy and Training-both Physical and Mental) of affiliated U.K equestrian riders upon their performance success of affiliated competition across three disciplines, Showjumping, Dressage and Eventing (The three dominant disciplines in the Equine U.K.) A hybrid questionnaire was produced from the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, Mental Toughness Inventory, Sports Motivational Scale-28, the Self-Efficacy Scale and one's own adopted and refined questions (for the physical training research). The total participants accepted (n=236, Showjumping=107, British Eventing=49, British Dressage=80) and the total participants rejected (n=144) were accounted. A multiple regression analysis was implemented with revealing findings. Motivation was significantly and negatively correlated with performance success on Novice Eventers and Intermediate Showjumpers. These proved to be the only predictors of performance success, however interestingly, it was found that the predictor variables across the disciplines and levels were for the most part, moderately and positively correlated upon each other. However, these findings were not significant. This suggests there is evidence for the Equestrian Sports Dynamics that do work in unison for future investigations on the relationship of these moderately correlated variables, despite nonsignificance. It is recommended that further investigations of these Equestrian Sports Dynamics are to be implemented to extend the understanding of this sporting phenomenon in utilising these key elements to push forward Britain's Equestrian rider performance which is to be replicated on the national and world stage.

“…Los padres son principales factores de protección, permitiendo a sus hijos una "elección limpia" del deporte que deseen practicar, siendo modelos a seguir en el comportamiento infantil y adulto, apoyando y fomentando actitudes saludables en cuanto a la práctica deportiva, construyendo recursos funcionales hacia la dificultad, entre otros (Arthur-Banning et al, 2009;Cremades, Donlon, y Poczwardowski, 2013, González y Otero, 2005Ortíz, 2017). Pero también lo son de riesgo (ante conductas disruptivas, percepciones narcisistas del aprendizaje o modelos de presión, entre otros) (Dorsch, Smith y Dotterer, 2016;Raimundi, Molina, de Figueroa, y Schmidt, 2017;Vella, Cliff, y Okely, 2014).…”

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...
