Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide recommendations for coaches for developing positive relationships with parents/guardians. The more thoughts given to the specific plans for building rapport, establishing proper channels of communication, and seeking support from personally invested stakeholders (i.e., the parents of the players), the more likely the season will be a success, beyond the simple measure of the win/loss column.
Notes

Articles should contain a brief introduction, followed by quick-hitting information such as bullet points or lists. Submissions should not exceed 1,000–1,500 words (or roughly four typed, double-spaced pages).
