To assess coaches' perceptions about the role of parents and their positive and negative behaviours in junior tennis.
A national survey of 132 United States junior tennis coaches was completed. The extent and seriousness/impact of parent-child interaction problems and positive behaviours were rated.
Parents were perceived as very important for junior tennis success. Most parents (59%) that these coaches had worked with were seen as having a positive influence on their player's development. However, the respondents also felt that 36% of parents negatively influenced their child's development. Positive parental behaviours included providing logistical, financial, and social-emotional support, as well as tennis opportunities and unconditional love. Negative parent behaviours included overemphasising winning, holding unrealistic expectations, and criticising their child.
Findings are discussed relative to current sport parenting and athletic talent development research and theorising. The need to educate parents is emphasised.
评估教练对家长在青少年网球运动中的角色以及他们的积极和消极行为的看法。
对132名美国青少年网球教练进行了全国性调查。对亲子互动问题和积极行为的程度及严重程度/影响进行了评级。
家长被认为对青少年网球运动的成功非常重要。这些教练所合作过的大多数家长(59%)被视为对其球员的发展有积极影响。然而,受访者也认为36%的家长对孩子的发展有负面影响。积极的家长行为包括提供后勤、经济和社会情感支持,以及网球机会和无条件的爱。消极的家长行为包括过度强调获胜、抱有不切实际的期望以及批评孩子。
结合当前的体育育儿和运动天赋发展研究及理论对研究结果进行了讨论。强调了对家长进行教育的必要性。
