Coach Kara and I answer burning questions from parents about mindset challenges in sports. We discussed practical strategies to tackle common issues, from balancing coaching and parenting roles to managing game-day nervousness.
• Mental skills training is preventative care, not a reactive solution
• Controlling the controllable when facing frustrating team situations
• High school and travel ball provide opportunities for growth
• Supporting athletes by praising their process rather than outcomes
