Have you ever wondered what your child is really thinking — especially when it comes to sport?

In this episode, host Dwayne Nestor explores how parents can better connect with their young athletes by developing a deeper understanding of their mindset. It starts with empathy — putting your ego aside and genuinely trying to see the world through your child's eyes.

Dwayne breaks down why being non-judgmental matters more than you think, how curiosity unlocks real conversations, and why asking the right questions (at the right time) can completely change your relationship with your child in sport.

In this episode:

• Why empathy is the foundation of supporting young athletes
• How to replace quick judgments with genuine curiosity
• The "five questions deep" technique for meaningful conversations
• Why timing and space matter as much as the conversation itself
• The role of reflection — for your child and for you as a parent

Whether you're a parent on the sideline, a coach in the gym, or simply someone passionate about helping young people thrive — this episode will give you something real to take into your week.

Mindset matters. And so does how we support it.
