## Resource

On the first episode of Youth Sports United, I sit down with Jordan Sutcliffe, an Assistant Professor and Sports Psychologist at the Royal Military College of Canada, to discuss the dynamics of parental involvement in youth sports. We start by exploring the crucial role parents play in their children’s emotional regulation, the impact parental behaviour can have on children’s athletic experiences and the downside of parental identities rooted in children’s performance. From there, Jordan and I discuss creating healthy team cultures for both parents and their children. We dig into the benefits of focusing on growth and development vs. winning, establishing and communicating team norms and creating environments where parents feel actively engaged in the team culture. We discuss the positive impacts of healthy relationships between parents, children and coaches and how creating a supportive community enhances the youth sports experience for everyone.
