There is no substitute for the time we can spend with our children and the guidance we can provide for them when it comes to their development. The author's actionable, straight-talking, objective and thought-provoking viewpoint will help you navigate the complex and often confusing world of sport and put the most important things into perspective. There is no better advocate for your child than you (the parent).” Mark, Sydney
