Parents tend to play a vital role in their child's motor competence for youth with visual impairments. However, little research has explored parental mindsets and support (e.g., transportation) surrounding their child's motor skills and how it may predict motor competence. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which parents' mindset items along with parental support may predict their children's actual motor competence. Parents of youth with visual impairments (N = 92; mothers = 69.5%, fathers = 18.1%; M[subscript age] = 42.91 years, SD = 8.08 years) completed the modified parents' perception questionnaire. Youth with visual impairments ages 9-19 years (N = 95; M[subscript age] = 153.35 months, SD = 27.58 months, girls = 37.1%, boys = 53.3%, 9.6% missing) completed the Test of Gross Motor Development-third edition. Results from a backward linear regression convey parental beliefs (i.e., growth mindsets) and support variables (e.g., providing transportation) significantly predicted their child's actual motor competence, F(6, 84) = 9.77, p < 0.001, adj. R[superscript 2] = 0.37. Results could inform parents on their importance toward supporting and believing in developing their child's motor competence.
