What Parents Say:
“Your unique goal setting advice
has made a huge difference.
My daughter’s basketball coach was
great at setting end goals but
wasn’t familiar with setting
performance goals. Once I shared
with my daughter the difference
between the two, she began setting
her own performance goals.
She immediately jumped from
averaging 4 points per game to
scoring 14 points.
Best of all, as a result of her
new skills, Danielle is becoming a
real leader on and off the court.
She’s even been named team captain
this year - as a sophomore!
Thanks so much for such a valuable
service.”
K.H, girls’ basketball parent
“I sure wish I’d attended Pam’s
workshop and understood these
principles when my kids were
little… I’ve had to ask my older
teens forgiveness for how I
acted.”
G.C.
“Highly recommended. Great insight
on how to be supportive of your
athlete’s goals and understand a
parent’s role and their choices.
Pam is very good at engaging
interaction.”
Ken Gabriel
“Pam tailored the workshop very
well to our group and time frame.
She was excellent at soliciting
participation, welcoming
questions, and creating a warm,
friendly environment for
learning.”
E.S.
“Very accomplished. The workshop
was very well thought out – a nice
balance of talk and activity.”
Judy R.
“She is excellent – very efficient
in her explanations, clear and not
too wordy, and relaxed and
focused.”
M.R.
Welcome Sports Parents!
You’ve come to the right place if
you want to:
Discover how to bring out
the best in your athlete.
Learn how to have it all –
athletic achievement, fun,
and a happy family.
At their best, youth
sports are filled with
excitement, compelling
challenges, and
opportunities to grow. Participation can be a
rewarding experience for
everyone involved.
At the same time, most
parents of aspiring athletes
find it’s not easy.
There’s a lot to stay on top
of. It can be confusing
at times. Like how does a
parent determine the line
between encouraging and
pushing their child? It’s
easy to cross it without
meaning to. Yet the
consequences may be costly.
It also makes a big
difference knowing exactly
how to help a particular
child manage the pressures
of competition. And what
about the pressures on
parents and siblings when
there’s a talented athlete
needing a lot of support –
time, attention, and money
-- to fulfill their
potential?
No doubt about it, it’s no
small task to meet the
challenges of raising an
athlete in a sports
environment that is becoming
more and more competitive.
Any of these concerns on
your mind?
My child
is:
feeling too much pressure
to win
not having much fun
feeling less motivated or
talking about quitting
too focused on what they
are doing wrong
unable to communicate
concerns or upsets with
the coach
overburdened with too many
extracurricular activities
not paying enough
attention to academics
acting cocky and demanding
feeling worse about
herself, rather than
better
dealing poorly with losing
Our family is
experiencing:
a
feeling of tension around
sports performance
our
time and energy being
consumed by our
participation in sports
some
family members feeling
left out
excessive criticism or
over-coaching
too
much importance placed on
winning
You are the biggest
influence
Hi, I’m
Pam Champagne. As a
high-ranking junior tennis
player at the national
level, I lived daily with
unrelenting pressure to win
and eroding self-confidence
that affected me for
decades. However, a seed was
planted. One day I would
help other kids and parents
avoid these damaging
pitfalls.
You have the most
profound and longest lasting
impact on your children.
Knowing this, I created the
PALS (sm) Program,
“Parenting Athletes for
Lifelong Success.” PALS (sm)
provides you with winning
solutions to your pressing
concerns.
Be a winner at sports
parenting
You
will come to understand
clearly what helps and what
hurts your athlete, and
how to avoid doubts and
future regrets. You will
gain confidence that you are
giving your child the very
best shot at fulfilling
their potential as an
athlete and, most
importantly, as a human
being.
