Gordon MacLelland - Working With Parents In Sport
Friday, 12 September, 2025

Send us a textWho would be the parent of a young football player? Yep, fools like us. In this episode, we speak to Gordon MacLelland from Working With Parents in Sport (WWPIS). The organisation helps parents navigate an array of sports including football with some fantastic resources. CEO Gordon talks about what can be a long drive home after a match - why it matters, how it can go wrong, and what kids really need from us in those moments. We also talk about managing our own expectations as parents and creating a more supportive space for young athletes to grow, on and off the pitch.PARENTS, SILENCE IS OK xLINKS & INFO OF INTEREST:Working With Parents In Sporthttps://www.parentsinsport.co.uk/Subscribe, follow us or email hello@raisingthegame.org with all your tips and questions.
