Parenting Young Athletes Your Way WORKS!

Story Time:
My wife was talking to a business coach the other day and they were telling her…

“When we started coaching businesses we thought that there was one way to be successful. We would tell people who were using our system that if our system wasn’t working for them they needed to work harder.

What we learned over time is that each business has it’s own individual journey. What works for one can be a disaster for another. So what we do now is adjust and pivot based on the business and that has worked out a lot better for our customers.” – Business Coach Dude. 

Let me share something with you. 
Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3_Eie-5j8Y&t
For you non-clickers – Mr. Corey Gauff says @ 00:50 in the video: “I kinda move around behind the scenes. I try and find a quiet corner and look at it on my Ipad and then I make notes and sometimes I’m texting her and texting the coaches if I see something I think they can’t see.” – Corey Gauff

Don’t let ANYONE play on your emotions and your desire to help your young athlete. Even at the French Open the Gauffs believe that your child is your responsibility. Their entire team understands that their family is primary. So… if he needs to text/communicate with their child before during or after the match that’s what it is and their team understands that.

In my opinion family first and family connection first leads to a more relaxed and confident child who can handle adversity like a champ. Notice the handling of adversity after her opponent comes unhinged. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN_9eUjfX6EThis is an athlete who knows that no matter what she has her parents and her parents have her back. 

People will try to say to you…”We know what’s best for your kid.” followed up with a hint of “You’re doing it wrong.” and a pinch of “Do it our way or your kid will suffer.” Don’t let them bully you into their way. Do it your way. Trust yourself and your child.YOU know what’s best.

If other people tell you that you’re doing it wrong or that your child will suffer because of you hit them with this child’s honest take. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today’s How To!
Now, I can’t leave you without an action step.  Coco must have read our book because she does what we do. It’s cool to see champions use these exercises to win French Opens and stuff.
