posted on 2017-06-15, 13:44 authored by Camilla J. Knight, Steffan R. Berrow, Chris HarwoodThis paper provides a brief summary and commentary on the growing literature on parenting in sport, with a particular emphasis on literature from the last 2–3 years. Following a brief introduction overviewing the topic area, we firstly focus on the influence of parental involvement on children. Specifically, we examine the range of factors that influence children's perceptions of parental involvement and the consequences of different behaviors. Next we discuss the factors influencing parental involvement, such as the challenges and stressors associated with parenting children in sport and the culture within different sports. Finally, our review focuses upon the strategies developed by parents to facilitate their involvement in their children's sport, as well as the few papers focused upon parent education and support. We conclude by examining the need for further research and examination of support strategies for parents.
