In this episode, I talk about one of the most important — and often overlooked — parts of youth sports: the relationship between parents, coaches, and players. I share why trust is the foundation of everything we try to build, and how that trust can quietly erode when the wrong messages start creeping in at home.

I open up about how powerful the car ride home can be — for better or worse — and why the way you respond to your kid’s performance matters more than any box score. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present in the right way.

I also get into what it looks like to truly support your son, not just as an athlete, but as a person. Because at the end of the day, this is just a game. The relationship with your son is not.
