LA CHARTE DES DEVOIRS DES PARENTS DANS LE SPORT 1. Le choix de la discipline sportive préférée appartient à mes enfants dans la totale autonomie et sans des conditionnements de ma part. 2. Mon devoir est de vérifier que l’activité sportive soit fonctionnelle à leur éducation et à leur croissance psychophysique, en harmonisant le temps du sport avec les engagements scolaires et avec une vie familière tranquille . 3. J’éviterai à mes enfants jusqu'à l'âge de 14 ans, de lourdes activités compétitives, sauf des disciplines formatives en favorisant le sport ludique et récréatif. 4. Je les suivrai avec discrétion , avec leur consentement, si tout cela servira à les aider à avoir avec le sport une relation équilibrée. 5. Je ne demanderai rien aux entraîneurs de mes enfants, qui ne corresponde pas à leurs mérites et à leurs professionnalités. 6. Je dirai à mes enfants que pour être de bons sportifs et pour se sentir heureux dans la vie il n'est pas nécessaire de devenir des champions. 7. Je leur rappellerai également que les défaites aident à grandir parce qu’elles sont nécessaires pour devenir plus sages . 8. Je leur montrerai les valeurs du Panathlon comme le principe éthique pour affronter une bonne expérience sportive. 9. À leur retour à la maison je ne demanderai pas s'ils ont gagné ou perdu mais s’ils se sentent meilleurs. Je ne demanderai pas combien de buts ils ont marqué ou ils ont subi, ou combien de records ils ont battu, mais s’ils se sont amusés . 10. Je voudrai me regarder dans leurs yeux tous les jours et trouver le sourire de ma jeunesse.
