Parental support significantly impacts youth sports performance by enhancing athletes' motivation, confidence, and overall enjoyment of sports. When parents are involved, they provide essential resources, including transportation, financial backing, and emotional encouragement. This support helps to foster a positive environment where young athletes can thrive and develop their skills. Research indicates that youth with strong parental backing are more likely to participate consistently and perform better, as they feel valued and understood. Moreover, this involvement can also strengthen the parent-child relationship, promoting teamwork and communication both in sports and life.
