Parents can play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports.
Parents and athletes need to manage their SportsEngine accounts to ensure they get the most out of their Bethel Softball Association experience during each sporting season.
