This document discusses how parents can encourage positive attitudes in their children towards sports. It emphasizes that a parent's behavior at sporting events shapes their child's experience, so they should choose words of encouragement rather than criticism. As children grow older, some may feel overwhelmed by competition, so parents should help their child switch to less competitive teams or activities to keep promoting physical activity and enjoyment of sports. The document encourages parents to be role models by cheering supportively for their child's efforts regardless of the outcome. It also suggests finding alternative physically active hobbies beyond competitive sports.
