We’re Not Supposed to Be Perfect
Let’s be honest — parenting through youth sports is emotional.
We all want the best for our kids, and sometimes that passion comes out in ways we don’t intend.
We’re not supposed to be perfect.
What matters most is being aware — being conscious of when to speak, when to step back, and how our tone shapes the moment.
Every child is different.
Some kids thrive under pressure.
Others, like my own, start to feel the weight of our expectations long before they’re ready to carry it.
It took me time to realize that my son didn’t need me to coach him harder — he needed me to believe in him quietly.
Awareness doesn’t mean we stop caring.
It means we learn to care better.
“Our growth as parents is just as important as their growth as players.”
