Implications for Parenting in SportIn recent years, parenting in youth sport has become an important theme for talent and pos- itive youth development (Knight, Berrow, & Harwood, 2017). Here, the findings contribute to the knowledge of parental styles that safe- guard the well-being of athletes (Harwood & Knight, 2015). On this topic, there are several applied implications for parenting in sport. Most notably, they suggest that parental condi- tional regard is likely to foster fragile self-worth and perfectionism among young athletes. In sport, appropriate structure (i.e., high demand- ingness and low responsiveness) and autonomy support have been shown to be far more adap-tive forms of socialization (e.g., Curran, Hill, & Niemiec, 2013; Curran, Hill, Ntoumanis, Hall, & Jowett, 2016; Holt et al., 2009). Strategies associated with these forms of socialization in- clude recognizing and attempting to empathize with negative emotions, providing detailed ra- tionales for rules, limits, and expectations, of- fering unconditional support and constructive positive feedback when athletes have tried but failed, and encouraging input into decision- making that is, where possible, joint (Grolnick, 2003). All of these should be communicated to parents as important to their overall parenting style and—importantly—that which is specifi- cally employed in achievement contexts such as sport.
