About
What is JBM THINKS Sportsparenting?
JBM THINKS Sports parenting is about YOU. You as a parent; you as a sports parent.
I want to help you be a parent that guides your child to get the most out of his sports experience.
Sports should be more than just a game. More than wins and losses. More than stats and scholarships.
Competition provides a perfect setting for character growth.
What will you get from JBM THINKS?
Three times a week I will talk about issues that you deal with as a sports parent, like:
5 Huge Lessons Your Child will Learn from Playing Sports
Will You Let Your Kids Dream Big Like Tim Tebow?
What to do when your child says “I Quit!”
And a whole bunch more. You won’t want to miss a single post!
Who is JBM Anyway?
Janis B. Meredith, sports mom and coach’s wife.
I was brought up in a family who loved sports, married a man who has coached for 28 years and have had three kids play from age 4 to college.
I see sports a bit differently, with a view from both sides of the bench.
As a communications specialist and freelance writer, my kids are now 24,21, and 18. My oldest daughter played 4 years of college softball and the other two are currently playing college volleyball and football.
I am also a certified parent life coach.
Why I am passionate about Sports Parenting
I’ve seen just about everything in youth sports–good and bad. And I feel strongly about helping parents and young athletes build character through the athletic experience.
Playing sports brings excitement and recognition. It may even help pay for college and open doors for the future. But nothing will ever be more important than the type of person your son or daughter becomes in the process.
