What to Say to Your Young Athlete After a Bad Game (and Every Other Moment That Matters)

Why this book
The book the blog's most-read cluster already supports: the car ride home, post-game conversations, and sideline behaviour.
Not to be confused with a differently authored youth-sports book of the same title.
12 chapters.
Comparing your child to other athletes is a habit youth sports makes easy. Learn how to keep the sideline scoreboard out of your child's head for good.
Every guide covers the bad game. Almost none cover the good one, where praise quietly becomes pressure. Here's what to say after a win in youth sports.
Learn what to say before a game in youth sports, and what to drop from the car ride. A four-sentence drop-off script that settles nervous young athletes.
