In this episode, we break down the fine line between being a supportive parent and becoming a helicopter parent in youth sports. ✨

🧠 Learn how letting your child experience both success and failure can help them build resilience, confidence, and independence—without micromanaging every step of the way.

📉 We'll also explore the unintended consequences of over-involvement, from stunting critical thinking to creating false hope, and how parents can strike a balance by celebrating effort over outcomes.

⚖️ Join us as we discuss how fostering independence, allowing kids to learn from their mistakes, and focusing on work ethic can shape not only better athletes but better people.
