Hard truth:
You can’t want it more for them than they want it for themselves.
You can pay for the best lessons.
You can drive hours for the best tournaments.
You can cheer, coach, encourage, and sacrifice every weekend.
But at the end of the day — it’s still up to them.
Their effort.
Their mindset.
Their choice to show up and grind when nobody’s watching.
And that’s the hardest part as a parent or a coach:
Knowing that your kid’s success isn’t about how much you want it.
It’s about how much they do.
So yeah… invest in them.
Support them.
Give them every opportunity to chase big goals.
But remember — it’s their dream.
Not yours.
And that means it has to come from them.
