The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationships among critical sport psychosocial perceptions of fathers (N=84), mothers (N=84), and daughters (N=84) in the same family (N=252). Athlete participants were young female soccer players ranging in age from 9 to 14 years. A canonical correlation analysis revealed a significant overall multivariate relationship (Wilksu27s λ = .485, pu3c.0001) and one significant function emerged (Rc = .64). The loadings suggested that athleteu27s perceptions of both mother and father created task involving and worry conducive climates all contributed to the multivariate relationship, predicting athleteu27s perceived competence, sport friendship quality, and task orientation. We also examined potential differences among athleteu27s, motheru27s, and fatheru27s perceptions of enjoyment and motivational climates. A series of repeated measures ANOVAu27s revealed that mothers believed that they created a more worrisome soccer climate for their daughters than fathers. In contrast, daughters reported that their fathers contributed to a worry conducive climate more than mothers.
