“…Collectively, these studies have demonstrated the effectiveness and value of sport parent education programs. Such evidence plays an important role in helping to encourage the integration of evidence-based interventions within sports clubs, organizations and national governing bodies (Knight et al, 2017). However, these studies have also highlighted the significant cost, time, and expertise needed to plan and deliver evidence-based face-to-face education programs for service providers.…”

This study evaluated the effectiveness of a novel online education program for British tennis parents and their experiences of engaging in the program. Using a convergent parallel mixedmethods design, 13 parents completed pre-and post-program online questionnaires, while a subset of 9 participants also shared their experiences via an asynchronous email interview. Quantitative findings revealed positive directional changes for almost all of the variables in relation to emotional experiences, goal orientations, tennis parent efficacy, and general parenting efficacy. The contribution of the combined quantitative and qualitative findings and their practical implications are discussed.

Despite evidence highlighting the debilitating nature of perfectionism in sport, very few studies have examined how it develops. In explaining the development of perfectionism, theorists emphasize controlling parental practices in family contexts replete with conditional regard. This study, then, tested the role of parent conditional regard in the development of perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns among adolescent athletes. It also tested the mediating role of competence contingent self-worth in these associations. One hundred and forty eight (Mage = 15.12 years, SD = 1.64) adolescent athletes competing at regional level or above in their primary sport completed measures of multidimensional perfectionism, competence contingent self-worth, and parent conditional regard. In line with hypotheses, structural equation modelling showed that perfectionistic strivings and perfectionistic concerns were positively predicted by parental conditional regard. As expected, competence contingent self-worth mediated both relationships. The findings are the first to suggest conditional regard from parents is important in the development of perfectionism among adolescent athletes because these behaviours contribute to contingencies of self-worth that are based on competence.

“…i.e. parents can influence both positive and negative (Holt & Knight, 2014;Knight, Berrow, & Harwood, 2017). Therefore, in the education of moral behaviour in athletes, the coach also has to have the ability to cooperate with the parents.…”

Background. Moral behaviour and moral education of young athletes still remain an important issue in sports context. This study was designed to examine coaches’ perspectives on moral education in sport. Methods. In this study, aiming at establishing the perspectives of coaches on the moral education of athletes in sports activities, qualitative research was selected. Primary data were collected via semi-structured interviews with nine basketball and football coaches of different experience and age. The data were analysed applying thematic analysis. Results. Thematic analysis indicated that coaches identified goals of athletes’ education as the development of athletes’ personality, motivation, the development of sports excellence and the encouragement to achieve victory. Coaches defined moral education as the development of the authority of an athlete, fair play, compliance with rules, and integrity. The most common means coaches used for moral education were explanation, discussion, lectures, meetings, personal examples, case analyses. Such means are important for athlete’s personal development, pursuit of results, and career planning. The qualities of good coach were professional knowledge, authority, competences of creating motivational climate, and also moral competences. Conclusion. A central finding of the study is that coaches define moral education in sport through the education of moral values and the goals set by coaches related not only to the sports results, but also to the development of the personality of athletes. Personal role of coaches in moral education encompassing professional knowledge and moral competences of athletes is of great importance.
