Parents v. Children athletes

Can anyone help me find information on the effects that parents have on children atheletes. Kind of like some parents live their life through their children. Thanks very much.

I have twins in ice hockey. I can relate I have seen it all. A book is out by Christopher Andersonn "Will You Still Love Me If I don't Win" Also a book called Successful Coaching by Rainer Martens. This is the #1 selling book for coaches but it has alot of helpful information for parents as well. Andersonn's book might be great for what you are looking for. I just recently purchases it so I have not gotten to read alot yet. I skimmed thru it quickly before writing to you and it may help. Good Luck.
