The Pressured Child: Helping Your Child Find Success in School and Life MICHAEL THOMPSON, WITH TERESA BARKER List and Member Price $23.95 Item #B96 Ballantine Books, 2004 257 pages Youth sports have become a pressure cooker of expectations. Parents scream abuse at players, coaches, and referees. Coaches demand that their teams win, at any cost. Kids practice day and night. In Raising a Team Player, Harry Sheehy offers lessons and wisdom learned from more than 17 years of working with elementary school children, high schoolers, and college players. He offers advice on how to praise, encourage, inspire, build, temper, support, and teach, working with children on everything from setting goals to teaching sportsmanship and humility to building character and a sense of self-worth. The push for students to excel at school and get into the best colleges has never been more intense. This invaluable new book explores America’s performance-driven obsession with the accomplishments of its kids — and provides a deeply humane response.
