ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of former youth sport athletes and their recalled experiences with their parents (mothers and fathers) during the time they were participating in youth sports. Participants included 270 college students from 12 states who participated in youth sports in various sized cities and communities. Participants completed a 14 item survey with an additional 28 questions from the Parental Involvement in Sport Questionnaire (PISQ). This paper presents results from the open-ended questions on the positive and negative experiences the participants recalled with their parents during their youth sport years and PISQ results.
