Kids are told over and over again one simple phrase: <em>m<\/em><em>istakes are made for learning, not for repeating.<\/em>\u00a0Your child will hear these words many times over before they will make sense. But maybe they would believe them a little quicker if they saw their parents practicing the same belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a sports parent, you <em>will<\/em> make mistakes, but you do not have to repeat them. Don\u2019t be surprised if you make one or more of these five sports parenting mistakes, but <em>do<\/em> be committed to not making them again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1: Coaching Your Child from the Stands or Sidelines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was at a game recently where the quarterback\u2019s father spent half the game yelling at his son and the coaches, telling them what plays they should be running. I was embarrassed for the child, the wife, and for the father. Doesn\u2019t he realize that he\u2019s distracting his son, annoying the coaches (and everyone around him), and not doing one single thing to help his son play better? This approach to &#8220;helping&#8221; is a complete waste of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2: Coaching Your Child in the Car Before or After the Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/articles\/the-car-ride-home-part-6-patience\">car ride<\/a> to or\u00a0from the game is a time to tread lightly. <strong>This is not a time to critique your child\u2019s performance or pump them up with last minute coaching advice.<\/strong> The car ride to the game is a time to let your child talk about whatever he wants, even if that means nothing at all. Talk about whatever they bring up, or maybe ask one or two questions that will invite your child to talk: w<em>hat was your favorite part of the game today? What did you learn while playing today that will help you do better next time?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child gives you one word answers, take it as a hint. He may just want some peace and quiet. He&#8217;ll talk when he\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3: Embarrassing Your Child by Publicly Confronting the Coach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever I see a parent accost a coach after the game in front of other parents and players I cringe for their child. If you feel you absolutely must confront the coach\u2014and I\u2019d suggest you not if it\u2019s about playing time or position\u2014then wait 24 hours until the game is over and make an appointment to meet him privately. If possible, take your child along and let him be in on the resolution. This will help you guard your own behavior and show your child how to confront someone while seeking\u00a0conflict resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4: Complaining About Another Player When Others Can Hear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I will never forget the volleyball game when my daughter was put into the game and a parent yelled, \u201cOh no, what are you doing?\u201d It\u2019s true that she was not the best player on the team, but she\u2019d earned a spot and deserved every minute she got on the court because she worked hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That father insulted me and I pray that my daughter didn&#8217;t hear him. I made very sure that he knew how I felt after the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5: Making Things Too Easy for Your Child<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a parent who hates to watch my kids struggle, I know how easy it is to want to jump in and fix things, but try your best not to. <strong>This may make me feel better, but it will <em>not<\/em> help my child.<\/strong> It will weaken her and encourage the entitled attitude that so many are complaining about in today\u2019s society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will not be a perfect parent, I can promise you that. But remember, it\u2019s not how you make mistakes, but how you correct them that defines you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/testphoto-e1412353762306.jpg\" alt=\"sports parent with child\" class=\"wp-image-3440\" style=\"width:313px;height:209px\" width=\"313\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/testphoto-e1412353762306.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/testphoto-e1412353762306-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With our 100% money-back guarantee and vetted coaches, anyone can achieve their full athletic potential.
