Our friends at the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) have put together a tremendous series of videos expounding upon many of the topics covered in this blog. In the video below, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers talks about his role as a sports parent (email subscribers click here). Rivers was a great NBA player and he now coaches one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. Oh, and he's won a championship with said team. Imagine him walking into your gym while you're trying to teach his son how to set a screen.
You may think he has a strained relationship with his sons' coaches. Quite the contrary. Rivers knows his role as a parent and how it relates to his kids' coaches. Sports Parenting is a breakout session topic at the 2012 St. Louis Youth Sports Summit - which will be held January 14 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Maryville University Auditorium. Lane Green, Athletics Director of the Olathe (Ks.) School District, will lead the discussion and provide valuable information on how sports parents can excel in their role and contribute to the success of the team.
Other breakout sessions include CPR Training from the American Heart Association and a discussion on social media called Follow Your Friends: Using Social Media As A Positive Tool In Youth Sports. We will also address the topics of coaching leadership and how to prevent poor behavior in our large group sessions. Former St. Louis University basketball star Scott Highmark will deliver the keynote address. A free continental breakfast will be provided as well as plenty of free parking on the Maryville campus. The St. Louis Youth Sports Summit is absolutely free, but you must register in order to attend as space is limited.

Be a Good Sport!
