Tiivistelmä
In recent years, there is an increasing amount of research that has been done on sports, especially youth sports. Given the unpredictability of a child’s development, there is also an increasing number of people that are looking into research for guidance on how to support a child’s development the best they can.
However, in most cases, people tend to focus either on coaching or the athlete themself. If you think about a child’s adolescent life, in many cases, their parents are the ones who has the most significant influence and time spent with them.
So that brings up the question of, do parents know how to manage the situation between themselves, the coaches and also their child?
This guide aims to help bridge this knowledge gap for parents to understand that their behaviour and interactions with their child and the coach will have an adverse effect on their child’s development. The guide will serve as a supporting guide for parents, but it is not to be viewed as something that teaches them how to parent their children.
This guide will cover five key points, most of them relating to common scenarios parents will face. The guide is formed using already published scientific research ideas and points. It has been compiled and put in common laymen’s term for simplified understanding.
As for the theoretical part of the thesis, it will give a simple introductory to Finnish volleyball, as well as the youth culture and parents role in sports. It will also provide a more detailed explanation of the points in the guide.
