Targets for Parents
What do I want for parents?
First a quick reminder.
Yesterday I said my target for players is to provide tools and coaching needed for them to best develop, express, and enjoy their talents.
So for parents my target is to enable them to create the emotional context (relationship) that frees their sons to develop, express, and enjoy their talent.
Way too often the well-intended actions of the parents become interference for their son's performance. (Remember: Performance = Potential - Interference).
I've coached way too many players on how to deal with their parents' behavior.
My not-so-hidden agenda with BaseballConfidence.com is for parents to develop, express, and enjoy their own talents.
You can't give away what you don't have.
"The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon their sons."
I love Scott Peck's book The Road Less Travelled. On page
21 he says:
"If a child sees his parents day in and day out behaving with self-discipline, restrain, dignity and a capacity to order their own lives, then the child will come to feel in the deepest fibers of his being that this is the way to live.
"If a child sees his parents day in and day out living with out self-restraint or self-discipline, then he will come in the deepest fibers of his being to believe that that is the way to live."
Right now many of the most active participants in my Baseball Confidence Gym are parents.
They themselves are doing the homework. They themselves are developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities that best allow them to develop, express, and enjoy their talents.
As they do so they become better parents.
I can't tell parents what they should do all the time in each situation. But I can coach them toward a better understanding of the thoughts and feelings of their son and how those interact with their own thoughts and feelings.
As a result they make better parenting choices. They are better able to create an emotional context or relationship between them and their son. Both sides win.
If you heard the teleseminar I did last week, you heard a dad tell a heartwarming story of how he learned to better connect with his son.
The son went on to considerable on-field success (perhaps in large part because the player's relationship with his father was no longer "interfering" with the son's performance). But the beauty was in the enhanced relationship.
When parents understand the mental part of baseball, they are much better able to create a relationship with their son whereby the son is freed to fully develop, express, and enjoy his talent.
(By the way, the mental part of baseball is the mental part of life.)
That's my target for my work with baseball parents.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your content seem to be running
off the screen in Internet explorer. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you
know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.
Cheers
