As a sports parent, your influence is crucial in shaping your child's athletic journey. However, it’s easy to unintentionally create obstacles that can dampen their enthusiasm and love for the game. From imposing excessive pressure to prioritizing competition over enjoyment, certain behaviors can lead to negative outcomes. 

In this episode, we’ll discuss key pitfalls to avoid, ensuring that your child has a fulfilling and positive experience in sports.
Here are the ways you can fail your child as a sport parent:
1) Forcing your child to play sport.
2) Not getting involved in their journey.
3) Making being an athlete their identity.

In conclusion, being a supportive sports parent is all about finding the right balance. Focus on making the experience enjoyable, listen to your child's needs, and celebrate their efforts rather than just the results. Remember, it’s not just about winning; it's about enjoying the game together.
