Role as Spectator

​

• Physical distance to the event
• Objective vs. Subjective nature of competition
• Amount of contact allowed
• Age

​

• Model Poise and Confidence

​

• Post Game: Give time and space
• Evaluative = Interference
• “I love watching you play” = Support
• Exception = behavior occurs that you would not allow in your home

Spectator: Support vs. Interference

• Do expectations align?
• Why are you playing?
• What is a successful season going to be for you?
• What are your expectations/goals?

If your expectations do not align, drop yours and accept theirs.
