In today’s episode we talked about how to encourage effort over outcome, balancing competition with fun and enjoyment, when to push, when to step back, managing expectations if your child plays for fun vs. playing to compete, preventing burnout at a young age and much more!! Let us know your thoughts :)
Love you guys!
