"Remember that your child is an individual and no one else will have exactly the same sporting journey; avoid comparing to others and instead focus on your own child’s progress and improvements." Learn more #sportsparents tips from @cjknight: bit.ly/2N8C4aq #pisw

It can sometimes seem daunting as a parent when you introduce your children to sport - especially as time & financial commitments increase. But, seeing children have fun, make friends & develop skills help make it all worth it! #ParentsinSportWeek2018

The more coaches & clubs can communicate with parents to help them understand their child’s sport and experience, the easier it is for children/athletes. Remember, not all parents have experience of sport, so they are often learning on the job! #ParentsinSportsWeek2018
