As a softball parent, you only want the best for your daughter. So what can you do to help your daughter become the best she can be on the field? Here are 10 Tips to Help You Be a Great Softball Parent!
- Focus on reinforcing your daughter's correct technique, mechanics, and good performance.
- Don't dwell on your daughter's mistakes.
- Value your daughter's "intangible strengths" - determination, mental toughness, positive attitude, confidence, commitment, etc.
- Be a good example. Your children learn from you. Model the behavior and attitude you want your children to develop.
- Show your daughter you see her progress and are proud of her for the effort and improvement she is making.
- Allow and provide for taking a break - no school, no sports, just time to relax and enjoy family and friends.
- Don't specialize too early in sport or in position.
- Encourage the same commitment and passion toward school as you do toward softball.
- Remember that there is no short cut to success. Expensive equipment it and of itself won't solve all problems, it still requires dedication, skill, and technique for maximum success.
- Provide your daughter with the ultimate reward: your time, your attention, your approval, and the chance to hang out with you doing and sharing something she loves.
