Blom, L. C., & Drane, D. (2008). Parents sideline comments: Exploring the reality of a
growing issue. http://www.athleticinsight.com/Vol10Iss3/ParentsComments.htm
The authors of this article are Lindsey C. Blom and Dan Drane. Blom has her Ed.D. and works
for the School of Human Performance and Recreation at the University of Southern University.
Drane has his Ph.D. and also works for the School of Human Performance and Recreation at the
University of Southern University. They are both an authority in this subject. They also reference
several different articles and sources in their own work, which is why this article is a good source
for not only this essay, but also any other work on this subject. This article is from 2008, making
it fairly recent, which is good because that means the research and data is still considered current.
In this article analyzes parents comments toward their young athletes from the spectator
position. They then, ran some data to find that 31% of the comments were considered positive
and 28% of the comments were considered negative.

There are several authors for this article, and all their names are highlighted blue, meaning they
have other works in the database. The first is Kathleen M. Jodl, she has five other works in this
database. The second author is Alice Michael, and she has one other article published in this
database other than this one. The third is Oksana Malanchuk, who has five different articles
published in this Psychology database. The fourth author is Jacquelynne S. Eccles. This article is
only one of the forty-three articles Eccles has published in this database, which I believe makes
them an authority. The fifth author is Arnold Sameroff. Sameroff has nine of his own works
The author, Larry Lauer, has his PhD and is at the Institute for the Study of Youth Sports at
Michigan State University. So, I would say that he has the experience and the credentials to be an
authority on this subject. There is not a reference page or any sources cited in text. I do not know
how many times this sources has been cited or the effects it has had on other scholarly work, but
I do believe it could be a good source for future papers being written over this topic. The primary
audience of the source is parents of young athletes. This article talks about how parents are seen
as on obstacle whenever looking at a young athlete, versus being seen as a support group. If
parents are trying to be supportive, they should be sure to do the same thing after a loss as they
would after a win. Otherwise, the young athlete may feel pressure to win if parents treat them
one way after a win, but treat them differently after a loss. Stay consistent, and do not give in to
the unhealthy perspective of sports and parenting.

Inspire a Love of Sport. Lisle, Il: Second Base.
The author of this article is Nancy E. Peter, her name was highlighted blue so I clicked on it to
see, but this was her only work listed. There was not a bio in the article, so I googled her and all I
found were Facebook profiles and this article, but no more information about her. The main
audience for this article is most likely parents whose child plays youth sports. Peter based her
research, for this article, off of four questions: (1) How do parents feel about their children's
participation in organized youth team sports? (2) Which situations trigger which feelings? (3)
How do parents' feelings influence their behaviors? (4) What parental characteristics (such as
Trussell, D. E., & Shaw, S. M. (2012). Organized youth sport and parenting in public
spaces. Leisure Sciences, 34(5), 377-394. doi:10.1080/01490400.2012.714699
The authors Dawn E. Trussell and Susan M. Shaw are both in the Department of Recreation and
Leisure Studies at their respected universities. Trussell is at the Brock University in Canada, and
Shaw is at University of Waterloo in Canada. Since they are doing research in the department in
which they work in, I would say they have a little bit of authority on the subject. The primary
audience for this source is parents of young athletes, because it discusses parenting ideologies
that come along with youth sports. This article explores the connections between contemporary
parenting, cultural beliefs and values to youth sports. I detect a bias of what a good parent
consists of and what to become one in both public and private spaces, for example, when it
discusses involved fathering and intensive mothering. This article is only from 2012, so it is three
years old. It is important that this article is fairly recent, because it talks about the contemporary
parenting ideologies. So, I need to know that when it says contemporary, it means in the last few
years.

perceptions of self-worth in young athletes. Social Development, 17(4), 980-997.
doi:10.1111/j.1467-9507.2007.00456.x.
Both of the authors for this article have blue names in the database, meaning we can see what
other works have been done by them. The first author, Siobhain McArdle of Dublin City
University, has five other works listed under their name. They all are about exploring
perfectionism and mental health. The second author is Joan Duda, from the University of
Birmingham, she has fifteen other articles listed under her name, all of which are within the same
relative topic. I do believe that these two authors have authority on the subject at hand, because
they both have five or more works published under their names. The primary audience for this
article is anyone who is interested in the etiology, the cause or origin, of perfectionism and
perceptions of self-worth in young athletes. This article compares parental criticism and parental
expectations to see how they each have an effect on young athletes self-worth and perfectionistic
tendencies.
Walker, H. J. (1993). Youth sports: Parental concerns. Physical Educator, 50(2), 104-113.
The author of this article is Hal J. Walker, there is not any information listed about him in the
article, so I clicked on his name, which was blue, but this article is the only thing that popped up
in the database. After I checked the database I googled him, and all I found were books I could
buy. I was not able to find any information on him. The audience of this article could be anyone
who wants to know what the parental concerns are with youth sports. This article talks about how
children tend to play sports to seek approval from their parents, but it also talks about how some
kids believe that their relationship with one or both parents depends on their sport involvement.
I could not find the author of this article or the website, I even searched the web page and could
not find anything. Although I could not find the author, there is a reference page consisting of
four sources. Since I do not know who the author is, I do not know if they are an authority in this
subject. The references that they used are good sources, so I would say that this website is
credible. This article talks about the roles parents play in youth sports and the importance of their
involvement. It then goes on to talk about the positive, supportive parental involvement versus
when the parental involvement begins to cause stress for the young athlete.
Hoyle, R. H. & Leff, S. S. (1997). The Role of Parental Involvement in Youth Sport
Participation and Performance. Adolescence, 32, 233-43.
The authors do not have a bio listed, but both of their names are blue in the database, which
means you can click on them and find more work done by them. The first author listed is Rick H.
Hoyle, he has nineteen other works listed under his name. The second author, Stephan S. Leff,
has eleven other works listed under his name, most of them being for the School Psychology
Mary Quinton, the author of this article, is a student of the School of Sport, Exercise, and
Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Birmingham. She is in her final year of her PhD in
Sport and Exercise Psychology. Since she is in her final year of school, I would have to say she
probably hasnt had much experience in this field and she hasnt earned any credentials yet. The
primary audience for this source is parents of young athletes. This article talks about the
influences parents can have on their children and how it affects their sport. It also touches on
how involved is too involved for parents when it comes to youth sports. Quinton then lists a few
dos and donts of parental involvement. This article also discusses the effects of specialization at
a young age. I believe this source is a bit bias to the parents who get involved but not too
involved. This article is two years old, which makes it more recent. With this article being two
years old, it helps give a perspective on parenting styles that is more up to date.
