"The role of the parents in sports", explained by Michalis Rachovitsas. He pointed out the importance of the parents’ behavior, who must encourage and love the child, whatever its athletic performance is, and should not get involved in the “fields” - for example - of coaches. In this way the child will have the chance to stick with sports and consequently love them and will not feel discouraged in doing so. “The child is the recipient of all emotions from the parents as well. The child must learn that the result comes after a lot of effort and hard work. Additionally, a child should learn how to work on the emotion, which in sports is intense and sometimes not pleasant, such as sadness and anxiety.”
