4 Things Every Parent
Should Know.
Principle 01
You Set The Climate
A calm, process-focused parent makes an athlete 2–3x more likely to stick with a sport through their teens. The opposite is also true.
Principle 02
Don't Hire A Personal Trainer
For most youth athletes under 14, the best accessory work is playing a second sport and sleeping 9–10 hours. Save the gym for when the body can handle it.
Principle 03
Watch For Red Flags
Persistent joint pain, mood changes tied to performance, and a drop in love for the sport. Any one of these warrants a conversation, not a harder session.
Principle 04
Specialization Is A Myth
The data is clear: athletes who specialize early are more likely to get injured and less likely to play at the next level. Multi-sport wins, almost every time.
