Parents 🧠
Have this conversation with your kid before their next competition.
💥 What signals do I give that change the mood of your performance (during a game or shortly following)?
💥 What are the emotions you feel when you notice those signals?
💥 How do you want me to be around you when you win, lose, don’t play much at all?
This short, but valuable conversation can change your relationship with your kid and the way they play for the better, for the rest of their life.
