This week my guest is Gordon MacLelland, CEO of ‘Working with Parents in Sport’, a UK-based company that works with sporting organizations globally, providing unbiased information that understands the difficulties that parents and coaches face in today’s world, for the goal of providing children with the best possible sporting experiences. Sport and physical activity should be seen as a lifetime investment for our children, not a short-term gain. More about WWPIS: https://www.parentsinsport.co.uk/A generation ago children went out to play sport for the fun of the game, and if they became successful and were able to make a living from it that was great. It was not the primary motivation for parents setting out their children on their sporting careers.Many young people are giving up sport in their teenage years due to some of the pressures, behaviors put on them by parents during their formative years and they simply fall out of love with sport. It is no longer fun, and that is the primary reason kids want to play sport in the first place. WWPIS helps parents and coaches go back to basics and see sport for what it is, a chance for our children to learn experiences for life: Teamwork, dealing with adversity, friendships, sportsmanship are all valuable traits in life and not just in sport.More About Gordon: Gordon MacLelland set up ‘Working with Parents in Sport’ after 20 years as a teacher and as a coach to all age levels from 7-year olds to adults.
