Abstract

Families form an integral part of the athletic journey for many athletes and the support offered throughout an athlete’s career is invaluable to their success. Research suggests that in some instances parental support may be influenced by gender and this chapter explores this further, specifically focussing on parental opportunities and support provided for girls during childhood and adolescence. The nature of parental support an athlete requires throughout their sporting journey is also discussed.
