The present study aimed to conduct an in-depth and qualitative study of the role of athlete parents in promoting the mental and social health of their children. This study sought to answer the question of how and through what processes athlete parents maintain and enhance the mental and social health of their children. The research method was qualitative using content analysis of semi-structured interviews with 15 adolescents and young adults (with an average age of 23.4 years and in the age range of 16 to 27 years) of whom at least one parent had a history of regular or professional sports activity. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method of Brown and Clark (2006). The findings showed that six main themes play a role in this field: 1) Parental role modeling (in sports, health, and discipline); 2) Parental encouragement and support (including motivation, emotional support, and independence); 3) Teaching life skills (such as discipline, patience, resilience, and emotion management); 4) Creating a safe and supportive environment in the family (a calm, happy, and conversation-based space); 5) Positive emotional and social effects (such as creating a sense of pride, interest in sports, and improving social relationships); and 6) Parental management and facilitation (in stress management, anger control, and strengthening responsibility).
This study shows that through these mechanisms, and specifically by increasing psychological resilience (such as stress management and increasing self-confidence) and strengthening social skills (such as teamwork and social responsibility) in their children, athlete parents play an important role in maintaining and promoting their mental and social health. The results of this study can be helpful for parents, coaches, and policymakers in the fields of sports and family in promoting an active lifestyle and promoting the comprehensive health of the next generation.
