As coaches, we’re passionate about our sport and the athletes we mentor. We dedicate countless hours to practices, games, planning, strategy, and so much more. But there’s one crucial aspect of coaching that often gets overlooked: parent engagement.
Coaching is a privilege. When done right, the influence coaches can have with players, families and communities is tremendous. Establishing a Sense of Community, healthy boundaries, and trusting relationships with the parents on your team is not rocket science, but it does require some intentionality….and a desire on the part of the coach to learn, rethink old narratives, and lead.
Wisconsin Grappler is excited to collaborate with the The Sideline Project to bring you a new course, Parent Engagement for Coaches, which is designed for coaches who want to learn more. This course gives coaches everything you to kick off a successful season, including downloads for a successful parent meeting to kick off the season (a MUST in our opinion), a program to focus on matside behavior, guidance on parent engagement principles, and the latest research on establishing a sense of community. The goal is to equip coaches with the tools and strategies needed to build strong, positive relationships with parents of children they coach.
Regardless of your coaching experience level, this course offers valuable insights and practical tips that can enhance your coaching skills. This course is for you if:
- You want to have clearer purpose as a coach.
- You want to have greater impact on players and families.
- You are curious about parent engagement and community.
- You are willing to spend an hour of your time to learn and grow.
- You are willing to reflect.
- You want to build a strong sense of community on your teams.
- You want kids to love the sport.
By investing in your development as a coach, you’re demonstrating your commitment to providing a positive and supportive environment for your athletes…a commitment that will pay back in spades as you navigate the upcoming season.
