The Sports Parent’s Creed

Help me to understand…

That my child’s development is in the coach’s hands.

Help me to see…

That this program is for the children; not for me…

If in defeat our team should fall,

Help me to stand straight and tall,

And if in victory our team should stand,

Help me to extend a humble hand.

If our philosophies don’t always agree,

Help me to support the coach for my child to see.

For it is the philosophy of “fair play”

That the coach believes in my child

In every way,

And what more could I want for my child…

Than someone who believes,

Truly believes, in my child.
