A Survival Manual for Parents of Athletes
Description
Book Introduction
“It may be the child who is exercising, but it is the parents who are running alongside them along the way.”
The author, a former national short track speed skating team member and mother of one, has published the most realistic "Athlete Parents Survival Guidebook," written from the perspectives of both athletes and parents.
The book begins with the author's confession of how the confidence that "I've done it, so I know better" can turn into helplessness, and how devotion to a child can cost a parent their own life.
And based on that experience, I offer concrete ways for parents struggling on the road to grow healthily with their children.

[Prologue] A story only those who have walked that path can tell.
1.
The first thing parents worry about when starting to exercise
- How do I choose the right sport for my child?
- “Making” someone exercise vs. “Doing it with” them
- Why did it feel more difficult for me as a player?
- Training costs, hospital bills, siblings, studies… How much should I cover?
- Sometimes I forget that I am a person
2.
Injuries and Recovery: What Parents Need to Know First When Their Child Is Sick
- I thought it was just common growing pains.
- My child doesn't express pain well.
- Where should I go to the hospital?
- Recovery is as important as training.
- Don't let them run too often, they're so young.
3.
Fundamentals are more important than skill: diet, recovery, and mental well-being.
- Children who eat well run well.
- Real skills grow during 'rest time'
- Things parents need to know first when their child's mental health is shaken
- Movements that must be learned before muscles
4.
Parents' Mistakes and Emotions: Because I'm Human Too
- I keep comparing myself, and that makes me impatient.
- When your emotions are swayed by the results
- When you want to help too much
- I don't arbitrarily decide my child's dreams.
5.
Relationship Skills: Communicating with Children, Leaders, and Myself
- Communication with your child: When your child is mentally unstable, necessary conversations
- Communicating with Leaders: How to Build Collaborative Relationships
- Connecting with Yourself: Caring for Yourself
6.
When to stop, when to let go
- If your skills aren't improving, check this:
- When the child keeps saying he doesn't want to go
- When I started to worry about my career path
- Isn't it too soon to quit now?
- What parents can do after their child quits
[Epilogue] Back to the center of my life
