CHAMPIONS 101: PURPOSE > FEELINGS

May 24, 2023

Each of us as sports parents should recognize that we’ve been called to some important work. Sure, this athletic experience can and should benefit our kids in the here and now. It can and should help them get in shape, have some fun, and hopefully experience the satisfaction that comes with high achievement. But elite sports parenting means recognizing that this whole thing isn’t just about the here and now. It’s also about the future. Sports are a great training ground - the best, perhaps - for preparing and equipping our kids for success in life, in the “there and then” of who they become long after their playing days are done. The impact of the experience shouldn’t end with today; it should benefit our kids forever. That’s the important work - the deeper purpose - that sets the champion sports parent, and the young athletes they’re raising, apart.
