Whose game are we playing? A study of the effects of adult involvement on children participating in organised team sports
There are clearly identified social, physical, and mental health benefits of physical activity in primary aged children. With an unequivocal link between sport and physical activity, it would appear to be fundamentally important that children are encouraged to participate in sporting activities. Parents and coaches have been acknowledged as key influences in their children’s uptake, enjoyment, and ongoing participation in sport. However, concerns have been commonly expressed in the media, about inappropriate sideline behaviour displayed by adults at children’s sporting events. This study aimed to examine the nature and effect of parental or coaching behaviour at children’s sporting events.
