    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!

    One of the biggest struggles and obstacles for many coaches today is the parents.

    JP shares ways to help you improve your relations with the most influential people in your athletes lives. Get the parents to help you enforce the standard. And when I take my coach hat off and put my parent hat on, I would love my sons coaches to read this book and look for ways to better the coach parent dynamic. Its less work than dealing with frustrated parents.

    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.
