“…This was especially apparent regarding the economic capital as they began to strive position in competitive streams. As suggested by the literature, they pursued a status of good parent by having their children excel in sport (Coakley, 2006;Park & Kwon, 2019) and they also simultaneously chased after the status of their children in other social fields (Swanson, 2009). Regardless of the participants' social class, their parenting practices in sporting contexts seemed to conform with the orientation toward parenting healthy life style and some degrees of parenting ethos (Eriksen & Stefansen, 2022).…”

“…These depictions include parents' involvement in youth sport through their parenting practices. Some studies, for example, focused on parents' socialization (Dorsch et al, 2015), parenting styles (Holt et al, 2009), and the meaning and experiences of parenting youth sport (Elliott & Drummond, 2017;Park & Kwon, 2019). Literature has also been enriched by the uses of different approaches and theoretical frameworks allowing multiple perspectives in looking at sport in the lives of young people.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate practices of raising up young athletes from a sociological perspective. In particular, I looked at how parents enacted their capitals within the contexts of youth sport as a social field. This qualitative study involved 6 participants who had experiences of parenting their children in youth sport for at least five years. Data were collected through in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis was employed to facilitate inductive analysis toward the construction of themes from the data. A computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS), namely ATLAS.ti 22, was utilized to help the researcher manage complex data set and achieve trustworthiness criteria. Three themes have been constructed through mainly inductive analysis. These were (1) the contextual practices of youth sport as social field, (2) economic, cultural and social capital at play in parenting practices of youth sport, and (3) capital exchange as practices within and beyond youth sport. The current study concludes that sociological thoughts on social field and capitals are advantageous to understand the social complexity of day-to-day parenting practices of youth sport. However, agenda for further studies would need to explore the field of youth sport utilizing other sociological frameworks.

“…The limited representation of the experiences of professional male athletes as fathers may be seen as a reflection of the view that women are primary caregivers (Locke & Yarwood, 2016; McGannon et al, 2018). Existing research that has focused on fathers in sport has included fathers’ influence on youth participation in sport (Coakley, 2006; McGannon et al, 2018; Pot & Keizer, 2016), how fathers construct and enact the meaning of a “good father” within the context of sport and leisure (Park & Kwon, 2019), family influences on sport participation (Dionigi et al, 2012), or has been in relation to either fathers as high-performance sport coaches (Graham & Dixon, 2014, 2017), or as athletic trainers (Rynkiewicz et al, 2021).…”

This study contributes to a growing body of scholarly discussions around the many aspects and challenges of combining parenthood with elite-level sport, with a particular focus on the experiences of male elite athletes who are fathers. We used a caring masculinities theoretical framework, community-based participatory research, and semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of 10 elite/international and world-class athletes ( n = 9 fathers, n = 1 expectant father). Through reflexive thematic analysis, we identified three main themes: fatherhood can (1) improve and (2) impede elite athlete-fathers’ athletic performance; and (3) athlete-fathers experience a trade-off between athletic performance and fatherhood responsibilities. Our findings underscore the ways in which male athletes’ experiences with parenthood reflect the new era of involved fatherhood and are analogous to some of the identity tensions that have been reported with regard to the experiences of elite female athletes who are pregnant and/or mothers. Recognizing the impact of children on male athletes’ athletic careers and the parallels between fatherhood, motherhood, and elite sport may lead to better support for athlete-fathers while also contributing to diminishing the expectation that women are primary caregivers to children.

“…Sport provides them with a site to enact 'good fathering', spending time with their children, bonding and sharing an interest (e.g. Harrington, 2006;Kay, 2007;Park & Kwon, 2019). Studies also show that such activities provide fathers with the opportunity to instil what they consider to be positive knowledge and values in their children, with sport linked to notions of moral and social development such as discipline, tenacity, character, team working, competitiveness, and self-confidence, preparing children for a successful adult life (e.g.…”

This research note puts forward a conceptual framework for leisure research seeking to bring sport, fathering, and race and ethnicity together. It draws on theoretical ideas of practices and racial projects to develop the notion of racial fathering practices. The potential of racial fathering practices as an analytic approach is indicated through three vignettes of fathers' involvement in their children's sporting activities drawn from in-depth interview studies of fathers' understandings of bringing up their mixed-race children in Britain and Aotearoa New Zealand.
