Losing is an inevitable part of sports, but how your child handles losses can shape their confidence, resilience, and long-term success—both on and off the field. In this episode of Raising Athletes, host Rob Taormina dives deep into the best ways parents can help their young athletes process defeat, stay motivated, and turn losses into valuable lessons.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to teach resilience and help your child bounce back stronger
✅ Why 70% of kids quit sports by age 13—and how to keep them engaged
✅ How your reaction as a parent can impact their confidence and mindset

Losing isn’t failure—it’s a stepping stone to greatness. 🎙️ Tune in now and give your child the tools to thrive in sports and life!
