Not all television-watching is bad for a child. Here are some ways it may actually be of benefit to their sporting performance:
* Allowing children to watch their sporting heroes in action can be a great motivating force in getting them to take part in sport themselves.
* If the child is old enough, you could explain some technique/strategy points while they are watching. Watching an expert is a tried and tested path to improving performance at anything. If the child is really keen on doing well in a certain sport, you could even purchase specific instructional videos for them to watch.
* If you have access to a video camera, another excellent use of television is to film the child taking part in the sport and review the tape with them later, pointing out where they could improve. Many elite sportspeople make use of this method. Watching yourself from ‘outside’, in slow-motion if need be, is often the only way to understand and eradicate certain flaws.
