David Fraze - Balancing Sports


Listen Later

Playing on a sports team can be a great learning experience for your child, but it can also lead to overcommitment and exhaustion. How can you tell if your commitment to sports is working for or against your family? Dr. David Fraze is here to coach us up. He has a new book full of good advice for student athletes and the families who are cheering for them (and driving them to games). The book is Practical Wisdom for Athletes and Their Families (co-authored with Dr. Monica Williams). During today's interview, David will answer many questions like: 

3:20 Wait, I don’t have to go crazy driving my kids to all different sports? 

5:00 Look at your pocketbook…

6:00 Start here if you are struggling with juggling sports 

8:20 What if the sports schedule conflicts with church or other Christian activities? 

12:00 If you have a problem with the coach, how should you approach him or her? 

15:30 How can we bring glory to God through sports?  

17:50 What if your child is becoming more vulgar / less godly because of the team? 

20:00 My kid wants to quit, what should I do?

23:00 When parents act poorly in the stands 

25:30 How to reset while you’re playing a game

Dr. David Fraze is an associate professor and Endowed Chair of Youth and Family ministry at Lubbock Christian University. He has worked for more than 35 years with youth in church, school, and athletic settings, working with coaches, student athletes and families specifically for the last 15 years.
