Dan Cottrell chats to author and coach, J.P. Nerbun about his latest book, The Sports Parent Solution, Proven Strategies for Transforming Parents from Obstacles to Allies.
We explore how coaches can get the most out of their relationships with parents. Sometimes they are super-supportive, and sometimes not!
How do you get them onside to start with, speak to them, involve them and make them part of everyone's journey.
We talk about the ways to have difficult conversations, how to build your value offering and chances to show leadership.
J.P., as always, offers lots of evidence from either his own experience or from experts around this space.
He has written three books:
Calling Up: Discovering Your Journey to Transformational Leadership
The Culture System: A Proven Process for Creating an Extraordinary Team Culture
The Sports Parent Solution, Proven Strategies for Transforming Parents from Obstacles to Allies
He is host of the The Coaching Culture podcast.
