WYCKOFF, NJ – From pre-game to post-game, from pre-season to post-season, athletics provide great opportunity for kids all around the world, but it also presents them with their share of challenges. In most cases, parents exacerbate these issues by not knowing the proper strategies to get their athlete in the right frame of mind to confront and overcome these obstacles. Now, parents can have these tactics in the palm of their hands by purchasing “Don’t ‘Should’ On Your Kids: Build Their Mental Toughness,” written by Dr. Rob Bell and Bill Parisi and sponsored by TeamSnap. This book gives parents, as well as coaches, educators and other mentors, a guide to help an athlete overcome the mental challenges that can prevent them from reaching his or her goals.
“The sacrifice of time and investment by parents has multiplied in recent years,” stated Dr. Bell. “More is at stake and we wrote this book to help parents help their kids. It’s time that mental toughness is taught and not only caught.”
This publication takes parents through the yearly sports cycle and delves into the issues and situations that may arise. Bell and Parisi draw on their combined 30+ years in sports psychology and youth sports performance training respectively, to give parents the necessary tools to help their child conquer the obstacles they face on and off the field.
They also give the reader real life examples in sports of how athletes faced adversity and rose above the situation. These specific instances allow the parent to show the young athlete there are others that have been in the same place they are. Parents are often at a loss for words or say the wrong thing and “Don’t ‘Should’ On Your Kids: Build Their Mental Toughness,” aims to help them navigate these waters.
“This book is engaging and a great reference tool for any parent with a child in athletics,” said Parisi, “Sports are very emotional, and as their parents we want what is best for our kids. We sometimes say or do the wrong thing, at the wrong moment. Being a parent myself of two boys ages 12 and 14, whom are heavily involved in athletics, I use these strategies with my own kids. I’m glad that Dr. Bell and I are able to share this information with other parents and coaches. These insightful strategies, used correctly, can help motivate your child to stick with sports and reach their true potential.”
You can purchase “Don’t ‘Should’ On Your Kid,” at amazon.com, drrobbell.com and parisischool.com. Hard copies ($24.97) and paperback copies ($19.97) are available.
