Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
The purpose of this study was to explore parents’ perceptions of sport specialization within the samplings years of Cote’s Developmental Model of Sport Participation (Cote, 1999). More specifically, this study explored how parents’ perceptions of their perfectionism and parenting styles were related to views of sport specialization in the youth sport context. Participants in this study were comprised of 203 parents of youth sport athletes from the Mid-West. Youth sport athletes were sons or daughters between the ages of 6 and 12 years old participating in ice hockey, figure skating, or swimming. Parents participated in a one-time quantitative collection of data regarding their perceptions of sport specialization, levels of perfectionism, and parenting styles through in-person questionnaires at the beginning or early part of their child’s sport season. After completion of the study, data was analyzed according to the study’s guiding hypotheses utilizing the IMP SPSS-X software package.
