"95% of kids quit sports in the car ride home." As parents, the pressure to ask about scores or compare results often comes from our own ego, not from what's best for our child. When we question how many points they scored or why they didn't compete a specific skill, we risk pushing them away from the sport they once loved.

has seen this first-hand. She teaches that those few minutes after practice or a meet aren't meant for critiques or questions—they're a precious opportunity to connect and listen. Instead of making the car ride home about the sport, make it about your child. Show them love and support without focusing on performance. Ask them what music they want to play, share a laugh, and let them know you're there for *them*, not their achievements.

This approach, which Miss Val also teaches in her peak performance parenting sessions, helps build a relationship based on trust and understanding. In those unpressured moments—maybe after dinner, or while coloring or playing together—that's when your child will feel safe enough to share their thoughts and feelings. Use these moments to invest in the relationship, and you'll foster a love for the sport that lasts.

Listen to this week's episode to hear more of Miss Val's wisdom on connecting with your athletes on their journey!
