Gratitude

Research has found that the practice of gratitude has a tremendous impact on our lives, with significant increases in our health and happiness. Sport parents, watch the video and learn the importance of setting an example of gratitude in your family. Whether we're grateful for the opportunity to watch our young athletes play or for specific moments along their sports journey, let's focus on the positive and remember to express our gratitude to the athletes and coaches who make up this wonderful experience.

The 10 Commandments of

Sports Parenting

As sports parents, we want the best for our young athletes and we'll do anything we can to help them. Sometimes though, it's good to have a reminder of how we can help provide the best possible experience for them. With that in mind, Play Like a Champion created the Sports Parents Code of Conduct and the 10 Commandments for Sports Parents.

Committing to these commandments will help you to be a great supporter of your young athlete and set an important example for fellow sports parents. Spread the word and help your team embody the Parent Like a Champion philosophy today!

A Prayer for Parents

All praise to You, Lord Jesus,

Lover of children: Bless our family,

And help us to lead our children to You.

May the gift of sport in which our children participate, Be for our family a source of fun and a way to glorify You.

May we support our children in all the efforts, and help make sports a path to grow in holiness.

Give us light and strength and courage when our task as parents is difficult.

Let Your Spirit fill us with love and peace, so that we may help our children to love You. All glory and praise are Yours, Lord Jesus, For ever and ever.

Amen.
