PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT

Jim Wid Tennis supports Tennis Australia’s stance and efforts in helping educate parents on their important role within the child’s sporting journey. The following are some ideas and education that we would like you, the parent, to be aware of.

Jim and staff encourage all parents to remain off the court during their child’s lesson. This enables both the coach and student/s to concentrate entirely on the lesson, create independence for the child, promote a child’s decision making skills and build the student-coach relationship.

As a parent / guardian of a participant in any activity held / run by Jim Wid Tennis you agree to try and meet the following requirements in regard to your conduct during any such activity, program or event to the best of your abilities:

Treat your child the same irrespective of them winning or losing
Remember that your child plays for their enjoyment not yours
Try to have fun when you are around your children at competitions and training. Well-directed humour can be a great de-stressor
Look relaxed, calm and positive on the sidelines
Make friends with other parents at competitions
Get involved in appropriate ways if your child or the coach behaves in unacceptable ways during competitions
Let the coach do the coaching
Understand that children will benefit from a break sometimes and that involvement in other sports is okay
Be there when the child performs poorly. Be an understanding listener rather than a critic, judge and/or fixer
Be prepared to give your child some space so that he/she can grow and develop as an independent person
Let your child know that your love for them is not associated with their sporting performances
Communicate with your child and ask them how they are really feeling about their sport and about competing in particular
Occasionally let your child compete without you being there and hovering over them
Emphasise the good things your child did in preparing for and during the match/tournament
Try to avoid:
- Saying “we’re playing today”. Instead say “you’re playing today”
- Giving your child credit for accepting the responsibility of performing
- Getting too pushy or believe that you are indispensable. Let the coach do the coaching
- Living through your child’s performances
- Turning away when your child’s behaviour is unsportsmanlike.
- Telling your child what he/she did wrong after a tough match
- Making enemies with your child’s opponents or family during a match/tournament
- Making your child feel guilty by reminding them about all the time, money and sacrifices you are making for his or her sport
- Thinking of your child’s sporting performances as an investment for which you expect a return
- Badgering, harassing or using sarcasm to motivate your child
- Comparing your child’s performances with those of other children
- Forcing your child to go to training. If they are sick of training find out why and discuss it with them
