Youth sports are more intense than ever — and while they can offer so many life lessons, they can also become a source of stress and burnout for both kids and parents.

In this episode, I’m joined by Certified Mental Performance Consultant Michael Huber, who helps young athletes build mental strength, confidence, and perspective — all while helping families navigate the emotional side of performance.

We explore how parents can support their child’s sports journey without adding pressure, what to do when a child wants to quit, and why the way we talk to our kids about effort and outcomes matters more than we think.

Tune in to learn:

  • How to raise confident athletes without tying their worth to results
  • When to push through and when to let your child quit
  • The role of mindset, self-talk, and mental health in sports
  • How to be a supportive parent… without becoming “that parent”

Whether your child plays just for fun or dreams of going pro, this episode is packed with insights to help you show up as your best self on and off the sidelines.
