This paper examines the influence of parental attachment, support and pressure on athletic participation. An in depth literature review focuses on why an individual will begin and maintain participation in organized sports. Family customs are seen as a primary reason for a child to take part in athletics. Other factors, including socioeconomic status, personality, and peer influence, affect the decision to continue athletic participation throughout college-aged years. Additionally the quality of the relationship between the parents (both mother and father) may influence the child's feelings about sports participation and is an understudied area of research. The importance of understanding why college age students continue or quit athletics is evident. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
