Ten Do’s to Success
Ten things parents can do to help their
female athlete succeed:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Let this experience belong to your daughter. We had our
moments. This belongs to the girls.
Be a positive role model. It rubs off. Motivate and encourage your
daughter. Show her you respect those involved and communicate
any concerns in a respectful and dignified manner.
Be realistic. We were all given certain abilities. Accept your
daughter as she is. Accept her talents and use them. Make the
best of every situation and use it as a learning experience.
Accept her role on the team.
Support the coaching staff. If you do so will your daughter. The
coach represents authority; support the coach’s rules,
philosophies, decisions, and so on.
Be supportive of other athletes. Treat each player as if he were your
daughter.

10.
Trust the coaches wisdom and insight. Coaches work with athletes 12
months of the year. They spend many hours with these girls in situations
that parents may never see. In some cases, coaches know more about the
athlete than the parents do. Don’t exert pressure on your daughter by
telling him things she shouldn’t have to hear. Be a good role model. Let
the coaches coach.
Be an active parent. Monitor your daughter’s grades. Insist that your
daughter study and earn good grades. If you put academics first, your
daughter will be more successful.
Support your daughter’s social activities. Monitor her friends, hangouts,
boyfriends, curfew, language, rules, and so on. Talk to your daughter
about drugs, alcohol, and tobacco use. Encourage your daughter to make
the right choices. If you don’t communicate well in these areas, the wrong
people may influence your little girl.
Be selfless. Use Pom & Cheer for the right reasons. Encourage your
daughter to work hard and have fun.
Challenge your daughter. Teach and encourage personal responsibility. It’s
a tough world out there. Let her begin preparing for it with “inexpensive
mistakes”. Let the coaches push your daughter. Let the coaches make her
tougher mentally and physically by challenging her. Lessons taught in Pom
& Cheer go beyond the mats.
