Welcome back to the College Prospects podcast. I'm your host, Donald Watts, and we're talking to parents in this episode. Many parents unintentionally make the journey to college basketball harder for their kids by trying to make it easy.

In this episode, we'll explore why making things easy isn't the best approach. Coaches seek players who can handle adversity, tough opponents, and a demanding schedule. As parents, it's your job to put your child in challenging situations and help them develop resilience.

We'll discuss examples, including why transferring to a winning high school team might not be the best choice for your child's long-term development. Additionally, we'll explore how prioritizing winning at the youth level can hinder your child's growth.

Lastly, I'll leave you with a vital question to ask your young athlete: "Are they going there with you?" Is the challenge they face in line with their goals, or is it an opportunity for growth?

Thanks for joining us on the College Prospects podcast. Remember, embracing tough moments is key to success. Don't forget to subscribe and share this episode with those who need it. I'm Donald Watts, wishing you peace, love, and basketball. I'm out.
