For millions of America's young athletes, winning is everything.
Sports programs emphasize success over personal growth. Overzealous
parents put tremendous pressure on their kids to succeed, and even
parents who mean well often put unintentional stresses on their
young athletes. Will You Still Love Me If I Don't Win? teaches
parents how to relate positively to their children and demonstrate
genuine support.
Christopher Andersonn has spent two decades working with young
athletes at all levels of sport, from amateurs to Olympians. He
shares stories from the field and gives valuable instructions as to
how parents can address the emotional needs of their athletic
children. Will You Still Love Me If I Don't Win? provides advice
for using emotional training as well as physical training to aid
children in becoming well-rounded, confident young people. It
demonstrates where parents and coaches often go wrong in relating
to kids, what causes negative behavior toward children, and how to
stop hurting and start healing.
With a foreword by three-time Olympic swimming coach Richard
Quick, Will You Still Love Me If I Don't Win? guides parents to
motivate their children positively for both personal and athletic
achievement.

range of locations and time periods, from New Zealand's country
farms of the mid-20th century to contemporary hair salons and
everything in between.
Twenty-nine years after it was published, VUP are proud to re-issue
Barbara Anderson's first novel. It's a new term at the girl's high
school and in the staffroom and classes life is beginning again.
For Carmen, Sooze, Margot and the rest of Barbara Anderson's
wonderfully memorable characters, it's a time to reflect on the
often hilariously conflicting demands of lovers, supervisors,
friends and enemies. Here is a novel whose razor-sharp dialogue,
wit and compassion reveal a writer of prodigious gifts. `If Jane
Austen had been able to read Virginia Woolf, she would have gone on
to write something like Girls High ... A moving story of how people
mature, it's a joy to read.' - The Daily Mail `She has a gift for
shrewd observation, acerbic comment and clever comedy which moves
easily from near slapstick to subtle wit.' - David Eggleton, Otago
Daily Times `The prose of Barbara Anderson prods, darts, dazzles on
the page. Girls High, her first novel, is thrilling to read.' -
Mary Varnham, New Zealand Listener
