The Youth Sports Pressure Cooker: When Does Support Become Too Much?
Remember when youth sports were just... fun? Dr. Lisa Chipps, Senior Associate Athletic Director at Creighton University, joins hosts Dr. Christopher Villarreal and Dr. Deb Anderson to unpack the mounting pressures facing young athletes today - and how parents can support without suffocating. Drawing from years working with college athletes, Dr. Chipps reveals the evolution of student-athlete expectations, the difference between healthy pressure and harmful stress, and the critical conversations parents need to have (even when kids roll their eyes). Whether your child dreams of a college scholarship or just loves the game, this episode delivers practical guidance on nurturing athletic development while protecting childhood joy.
