Synergy. How does everyone act as one team?
The ideal formula is simple. Everyone in their own place:
👨👩👧 Parents are LOVE and SAFETY.
- The mother gives emotional support.
- The father gives confidence and objective analysis.
TOGETHER they create a healthy environment outside the gym.
🧠 The coach is KNOWLEDGE and DISCIPLINE.
- He gives craft, technique and tactics.
- He is the guide into the world of elite sport.
How do you help each other rather than get in the way?
- Respect the boundaries.
The parent doesn't interfere in training methodology, the coach doesn't interfere in family upbringing.
- Talk to each other.
Hold regular meetings (all together, or coach and parents) without the child, to discuss progress and goals.
- Remember the main goal.
The goal is not a championship title at any price but a happy, healthy, well-rounded person who became stronger, more disciplined and more confident thanks to sport.
Sport is only a tool for raising a strong person. Let's use it properly.
Your child will not remember all their wins and defeats. They will remember that you were there.
