How To Ask For More Without Being “That Parent” Or “That Kid” This Compete Hit gives parents and athletes a simple 3‑question script to ask coaches for clear feedback and a real plan to earn more trust and opportunity, without coming across as political, needy, or ‘that parent.’ The athlete leads the conversation, gets a specific job, a score, and one behavior to attack for the week, then circles back to close the loop.

So glad to have you a part of this community! Let's smash some bottlenecks!

So excited you are here! Good luck in your playoff games Victoria!

We are excited to have you join us in our Compete Community skool page!

I just uploaded a 1‑page Post‑Game Parent Guide I’ve been using with teams and Compete Code families. The goal:Turn car rides from emotional autopsies into simple, numbers‑based check‑ins that actually help your kid compete better. Inside the one‑pager: - 4 go‑to post‑game questions: So you’re not scrambling for “the right thing to say” after a tough game. - “Say this instead of that” swaps: Exact phrases to replace:“Why didn’t you play like you do in practice?”“You disappeared out there.”…with questions that point them back to their bottleneck and behaviors, not their identity. - The “3 numbers, 1 plan” car‑ride rule: A simple structure to keep conversations short, specific, and forward‑focused: 2–3 scores (compete, bottleneck behavior, bounce‑back) → 1 thing to aim at next game → done. If you’ve ever left the rink thinking,“I want to help, but I don’t know what to say without making it worse,”this is for you. Download it, print it, and try it after the next game. Then come back here and drop what changed for you and your athlete. I have linked it here but you can also find it in classroom in the parent section.
