As a parent, what is your sports philosophy? Every parent has one, but very few stop to think about it. Instead, we get wrapped up as parents in schedules, nutrition, transportation, keeping our children playing sports and making sure the sports program in which they participate is best suited to their needs and talents. Every now and then, though, parents should pause to reflect on this larger question. If they don't, they risk losing the forest for the trees.
Many people do not understand the basic nature of the question. It is not asking something along the lines of "what is a winning philosophy?" Rather, the question for parents is really twofold: first, What value do you believe sports provide society in general, and second, Why, specifically, do you want your child involved in sports?
You might be surprised how many different answers there are to these questions. Your answer to one may not be consistent with your answer to the other. Your child and his or her coach might not answer the questions the same way. If different philosophical perspectives exist between parent and child, between parent and coach, or between child and coach, there is bound to be conflict. I've seen it at every level from recreational youth league programs all the way to the pros.
As I see it parents answer the question about the value of sports to society and to their child in three ways: that sports are valuable to society (and hence to their child) because they build character, or because sports provide recreation, or because sports are good for health and wellness.
