Your kid runs onto that field and something happens. You forget everything you know about performance psychology and immediately start coaching from the sideline.Sound familiar?In this episode, Tim and Mario go deep on what children do naturally that most adults have spent years — sometimes decades — unlearning. From the way kids play without an outcome in mind, to the way they pick themselves up without a crisis of identity when things go wrong. There's a masterclass happening every Saturday morning at your local oval. Most adults are too busy shouting instructions to notice it.Tim shares the real story of watching his daughter run her district cross-country carnival — the nerves, the hug before the start line, the instinct to stay out of the way. Mario reflects on coaching young athletes for nearly two decades, the parents who arrive with their own unfinished business, and why he sometimes tells parents: your kid doesn't need you at training. Go for a run.The Norwegian model gets a mention. So does the pressure of getting in the car after a game. And why ice hockey players shake hands after battering each other for 60 minutes — but the loudest person at the oval is also the least qualified to have an opinion.What You'll Take Away- Why kids in flow are the purest model of performance we have — and what kills it- The single thing Tim says to his kids before any event (and the one thing he refuses to say)- What Norway got right about youth sport that the rest of the world is only starting to understand- How to separate performance from self-worth — a skill that has to be built early or it gets expensive to learn later- Why parents at training sessions can actively hurt the coach's ability to do their job- Mario's daughter's genius move: choosing sports her dad knows nothing aboutThe One PercentersPlaying cricket and running is not who you are. It's what you do. The moment a kid internalises that — truly internalises it — they've got a psychological edge most adults are still chasing.That's the one percent. And it starts earlier than you think.GET IN TOUCHMario [email protected] @healthetica_coaching on LinkedIn, Instagram and moreTim [email protected] @timothykbuxton on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Threads and moreDISCOVER MORE & SHAREIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe on Spotify, YouTube, or your favourite podcast platform.
