PARENT TO PARENT EVENT:

Want to help your kids get the most from their sports experience?

The Judge Memorial Catholic High School Athletic Department and Judge
Parent Association
are excited to bring you this one-time workshop. Learn how you as parents,
along with your
children’s coaches, can work to establish and maintain a positive
competitive environment.
This fun and informative free workshop will cover the following core
concepts and more.

PRINCIPLE #1 - REDEFINING “WINNER”
Is the first question you ask your young athlete after a game, “Did you
win?” What message does that send to them?  Help your child redefine what
it means to be a “Winner.” In this section we’ll talk about better
questions to ask.

PRINCIPLE #2 – “FILLING THE EMOTIONAL TANK”
Like coaches, parents need to meet the 5:1 ratio of positive to negative
interactions so that your
child will have fun and perform better. We discuss specific steps parents
you can take to achieve
this 5:1 ratio to improve your child’s emotional mindset.

PRINCIPLE #3 – “HONORING THE GAME”
Learn how to seize teachable moments with your kids. Discuss instances of
honoring and
dishonoring the game that they see live, or on TV. Learn how to find the
right opportunity for
discussion, the strategy of asking open-ended questions, and listening to
your child.
