Research results and discussion. It has been established: the majority of parents are aware of the necessity of the child's dual career, motivate the child to harmoniously combine sports and academic careers; they provide information and educational, financial, material, technical and psycho-emotional support, the majority of them are ready to change the usual way of life of the family in favor of the child-athlete; parents need training in time management, methods of supporting the emotional stability of the child and information and educational assistance in the disciplines studied by the child-athlete in the framework of the program.
