IMPLICACIÓN PARENTAL: ADAPTACIÓN DE UN MODELO TEORICO AL DEPORTE.

To analyse the complexity of parental involvement in children's sports, we shall attempt to understand the reasons for parental engagement and how that involvement can contribute positively to children's self-achievement. In this sense, we are presenting an explicative model supported by considerations taken from academic research that is capable of bringing together several valences to respond to questions that sport research have yet to answer: (1) why parents get involved, (2) what characteristics does the involvement entail, and (3) how does involvement affect children's achievement in sport.
