Full Description


George Selleck is one of the nation's most distinguished sports psychologists. The author of four previous books, he is also the founder of two organizations dedicated to helping parents and children get more out of sports, especially in the realm of building character and integrity. In Raising a Good Sport in an In-Your-Face World, Dr. Selleck gives parents all the tools they'll need to "raise the bar" of sportsmanship for their kids (and in the process, for themselves). At a time when Little League parents come to blows in the stands, when children watch sports heroes like Latrell Sprewell choke their coaches on national television, and when winning seems to be the only goal, sportsmanship is again coming into its own as a necessity, not just as a "nice" concept out of Highlights magazine or "Leave It to Beaver." More than 50 million American children participate in sports every year, which translates into millions of parents wondering how to prevent their children from becoming casualties in a youth sports culture that's becoming downright hostile.The problem is that most of these parents can do little more than wonder, because they just don't know how to present the idea of being a good sport in a way that will be meaningful and relevant to their children. Through his Model-Teach-Encourage tips at the end of each chapter, Selleck does this, and he reinforces these tools with real-life examples of lessons learned in professional and college sports.NER(01): WOW
