PlayPositive Environmental Driver Deck (Physical)

PlayPositive Environmental Driver Deck

Create a positive sport environment at home.

The PlayPositive Environmental Driver Deck helps parents shape how sport feels at home — not just what is said before or after a game.

While conversations matter, children’s confidence, enjoyment, and wellbeing are also influenced by the everyday environment parents create around sport. This deck supports parents to reflect on their behaviours, values, and responses, so sport feels safe, supportive, and growth-focused.

What’s inside

• 60 parent-facing cards

• Built around two evidence-based frameworks:

  • Mastery Climate (TARGET) – focusing on effort, learning, and improvement

  • Personal & Social Responsibility (TPSR) – focusing on respect, responsibility, and care

• Simple, reflective prompts designed for parents

Each card includes:

• A reflective prompt (to pause and think)

• Why this matters (the psychology, explained simply)

• A simple way to show this (a practical, everyday example)

Why it works

• Encourages reflection without judgement

• Helps reduce pressure and unhelpful habits

• Supports confidence, resilience, and emotional safety

• Complements the Conversation Decks to create a complete home support system

• A tangible tool for the car, kitchen table, and family routines

Who it’s for

Parents and carers who want sport to be a place where their child feels:

• Supported, not pressured

• Valued for effort, not results

• Safe to make mistakes and learn

Because positive sport doesn’t start on the pitch — it starts at home.
