Feeling Frustrated With Difficult Parents Of Your Team? Discover How To Turn Your Most Challenging Sports Parents Into Your Greatest Allies.

It’s something all coaches dread dealing with, and unfortunately most have experienced it throughout their careers: navigating the parent-coach relationship with frustrating and difficult sports parents. It can sap your energy and attention away from what matters most, coaching and fostering a healthy team dynamic.

So then how do you effectively work with today’s sports parents when they seem to be working against the team culture you are trying to create?

Parents become obstacles not because they want to be a problem but because there is a lack of collaboration to support the athlete and the team. As a coach, you can be part of the solution.

In ‘The Sports Parent Solution’, J.P. Nerbun, one of the world’s leading experts on team culture in sports, offers a comprehensive blueprint for turning your most challenging sports parents into your greatest allies. Leveraging ideas from leaders in education, the military, and sports, and sharing dozens of real stories from youth to collegiate-level coaches, Nerbun shares practical strategies for creating open lines of communication, building a connection to the team, and engaging in hard conversations.

In this book you’ll discover how to:


    • Overcome the Common Obstacles and Fear of Sports Parents - Gain insights into the root causes of parental fear and apprehension, and discover techniques to alleviate anxieties and establish productive relationships.

    • Foster a Collaborative Partnership - Implement methods to involve parents in decision-making processes and team activities, fostering a sense of ownership and investment in the team's success.

    • Get Parent Support for Your Goal and Vision for the Team - Establish channels for regular communication and feedback to keep parents informed and engaged.

    • Enforce Boundaries for the Wellbeing of You and the Team - Prioritize the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of the athletes and for yourself, setting boundaries to prevent burnout and promote sustainable success.


    The Sports Parents Solution gives you the strategies and methods you need to transform the parent culture in your team, allowing you to better support each athlete’s growth, improve your team’s performance and create an extraordinary experience for all involved.

      Whilst it may seem targeted at coaches, The Sport Parent Solution has first hand examples of working with parents that are applicable for not just coaches at all levels, but sports administrators, managers and business leaders. Any organisation that deals with parents on a daily level should read this book.

      A well thought out progression from The Culture System, where JP builds on frameworks and outlines to provide practical examples from real life situations, which take you from shock and awe to a place of inspiration and encouragement.

      Written for coaches, but it is a great reminder of parents role in helping to make a child's athletic experience a transformative part of his/her life. Compelling coaching stories are interwoven with practical strategies for encouraging parents to be actively involved in supporting the team goals. Any parent would benefit from reading and assimilating the ideas in this book and could engage in promoting and supporting the coach and the entire team experience. Highly recommend this short, concise, easy read for coaches to share with their assistant coaches, AD, administration, and parents of their athletes.

      J.P. Nerbun has a straight-forward, practical way of writing directly to coaches. He presents many practical examples of how a coach can work to make parents allies and partners, instead of roadblocks. I just completed my first year as a head football coach, and I am excited to take some of the insights J.P gives and apply them to our program!

      Reviewed in the United States on 26 December 2023
      Format: KindleVerified Purchase
      One of the biggest struggles and obstacles for many coaches today is the parents. Many times I hear coaches complain about the difficulties of dealing with parents in today's sport society, but this book will help those coaches. In the book JP gives concrete, tangible ways to improve the relationship with parents. Not only that, he gives solutions that will make coaching into today's society a more enjoyable experience!
