The aim of this study is to determine if parental education styles influence on parents support in sport of athletes. The sample consisted of 374 athletes and physical practitioners. In order to measure the different variables were used, an ad hoc Sociodemographic questionnaire, the Oviedo Scale of Infrequency Response (INF-OV) and the Self- Assessment Multifactorial Childhood Adjustment Test (TAMAI). The results showed significant differences in: care education close to mother protectionism (p<.05), mother personalized education (p<.01), father personalized-assistance education (p<.01) and father protectionism (p<.01), in favour of athletes who felt support from parents. On the other hand, mother restriction (p<.01) and father restriction obtained significant differences, in favour of athletes who did not feel support in the practice of physical activity and sport. The regression analysis showed that care education close to mother protectionism (p<.05) and father personalized assistance education (p<.05), are linked with perceived greater support in sport. On the other hand, higher levels of mother restriction (p<.05) and father restriction (p<.05) are related to perceiving less support in the practice of physical activity and sport. It was concluded that athletes who perceived support for physical activity, obtained higher levels of care education close to mother protectionism, mother personalized education, father personalized education and father protectionism.Key words: parents, athletes, collaboration, sport career, education.
