Every parent wants what's best for their child. But sometimes the very behaviors meant to protect athletes can actually hold them back. 
 
In Part 2 of my conversation with sports performance coach Jeff Benson, we discuss toxic parenting, emotional resilience, and why constantly solving problems for athletes may be hurting their confidence more than helping it. 
 
We also tackle one of the toughest questions parents face: would you choose the gym with the strongest culture or the gym with the strongest competitive results? 
 
If you're a parent, coach, or gym owner, this conversation will challenge the way you think about athlete development.
