Game On: The Christian Parents' Sports Survival Guide
A GAME PLAN FOR CHRISTIAN PARENTS
For years I couldn't escape the anxiety that came with my children’s sports. The competitive atmosphere prevalent among parents often left me anxious, upset—even bitter. But all that changed when I defined why I wanted my kids playing. Instead of fretting about their performance, I saw opportunities for them to grow. Now I enjoy watching them play without letting politics, other parents, or my own unrealistic expectations get in the way.
Join me in exploring the realities of sports, the reasons parents get caught up in unhealthy competition, and strategies to keep the big picture in mind when we're too close to the game. We can be composed and confident while our kids are in sports.

Game On is an inspiring and encouraging book. I believe every home should have a copy of this book. Also, every school and sports event should have a copy and encourage parents, family, coaches, friends, students and everyone to read this book. While reading the book, I thought of how often parents want their children to excel at sports and life just to make themselves look good. Wow!! Excellent book with valuable information. I received a copy of this book from the author and this is my honest personal opinion.

If you have a child in sports, this is the book for you! I found myself highlighting so many passages and asking myself some very good questions as I moved through this book. Oh, and laughing. There were plenty of laugh-inducing moments as well. Parents of sports kids will relate to all this book has to offer.

The Christian Parents' Sports Survival Guide
If your family has children involved in sports, this guide could have some helpful answers for you. Such as, helping find ways to help you as the parent and keeping your kids sports in the proper perspective.
Are you a parent who finds themselves yelling at the coach, ref, other parents, or even other kids on the team? As a Christian, are your actions appropriate?
More than that, the author gives suggestions of how to deal with the schedules, eating, etc. How to encourage your child. Make sure they are in a sport they want to play, and not one that you as a parent want to re-do in your life through your children. And much more.
Even as a non-sport parent, I had found many ideas that I wished I'd known when my own kids were growing up.
