First College Fall Game Jitters

Parents of high school athlete who aspire to play at the next level, I hope that you notice the emphasis put on the human before the athlete. The challenge I see with this post is that as parents or even coaches of young athletes in middle school and high school, there isn't nearly enough emphasis on the person/human being and then when the athlete side of them has struggles or face the hardships that come with competing at a high level, they arent equipped to handle them fully.
We all have our part to play in this but as youth coaches and parents, we have to simply do more. Hire the mindset coach, get a sports psychologist, have the conversation, ask the questions...it literally saves lives and it can specifically save YOUR child's/athletes Life!

How many of us have heard our daughters express this very state of frustration?

More times than not there was a breakdown in what the coach wanted and what your athlete gave. And if not able to have the conversation, this can become a very slippery slope to continued disappointment and frustration.

Advice from a coach: help your athlete navigate a conversation with coach to truly understand where she fell short of the expectation and what she can do to meet it next time. It gives her a better understanding of how to do it the “right way” but more importantly it should trigger coach to self reflect on if he/she actually gave enough detail in order for her to complete the task successfully!
