ABSTRACT:
A group of 104 13-year-old male and female ski racers responded to a questionnaire which asked their opinions of a number of issues including the amount of influence or pressure exerted by their parents relative to their participation in the sport of skiing. This article summarizes the findings on the young adolescents perceptions of degree of parental pressure to compete, continue participation in the sport, parental performance appraisal, and the athletes' subjective affective reaction. The results show considerable variance in both perceptions of parental pressure and athlete affective response. In general, the majority of both male and female athletes perceive moderate to strong parental pressure both to compete in and not to withdraw from the sport. The data show a relationship between high levels of parental pressure and negative athlete response. Implications of the study for parents, coaches, and sport administrators are discussed.
