Are You One of These Four Types of Sports Parents?

Since my daughter was four-years-old, she’s participated in community recreation leagues. This way she is exposed to athletics at an early age without all the stress of specializing in a sport that comes with a travel team.

Within my three years of her participating, I’ve played the role of the parent, the coach, or the spouse of the coach. After having my daughter play in three different community recreation leagues I noticed that each league has four different types of sports parents.

Which type of sports parent are you?

Angelica was raised in West Liberty just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Iowa City. After getting married to her high school sweetheart and living in the D.C. metro area, they decided it was not where they wanted to raise a family, and moved back to Iowa in 2012. They welcomed their daughter nine months after moving back. Then in 2018 added a yellow lab to their family. Angelica enjoys running, reading, and binge watching shows with her husband. She loves Disney, Reese's, and being a mom.
