PotentialingTM – is the deliberate process of maximizing someone’s possible, yet to be realized, skills and abilities. It is progress along a continuum –not an absolute destination Soccer Parents involvement in sport tends to be too often defined by stories of inappropriate behavior on the sideline during games involving their children. Potentialing, however, recognizes contribution of parents and focuses less about ‘controlling’ parents and more about ‘engaging ‘them. It is something parents can do to ensure that their child’s soccer experience is a place for growth – both as a person and an athlete: it’s a great medium to learn life lessons Up till now parents have been lectured on what they CANNOT or SHOULD NOT DO. Potentialing gives parents a platform for what they CAN and SHOULD DO. Potentialing is more than just teaching or parenting, it is each of these but much more. It is a balance between a parent’s biggest role of simply being “there” and additional roles of helping them, from a parental vantage point, not a coaching one, reach their “possible” skills and abilities. Potentialing does, however, require a plan. Our plan centers around helping parents create a great environment. We use the medium of Play and the skills of Communication to help parents drive forward a child’s Confidence, Persistence and Motivation. In the book we provide descriptions of these 5 concepts (that we call “The Big 5”), ideas on roles and responsibilities for parents, as well as provide examples of real life scenarios that might happen to parents and their kids during their child’s soccer experience
