E33 - Faith on the sidelines as a parent of elite sporting children

Today we speak with Gaynor - a whole family of sporty children!

Last time she spoke about the time pressures of prioritising church, sport and family as a busy sporting family. 

Today we’re diving into the relationships involved in being a parent of a sporty child - the coaches, the other parents, their child and the rest of their family as well. 

Listen in as we discuss:

• Conversations with coaches about faith
• Forming relationships with other parents
• Coping with the competitive environment of elite youth sport
• Dealing with the jealousy of other parents 
• The danger of your child’s sport becoming an idol for you
