What is envy when it comes to sports? And why it can either be a killer or the motivator for your child to get better.

Understanding where it comes from and handling it properly can help your kid rise above it and become so much better

Here’s an example of how envy can creep up on a kid and deflate them. They can feel envy towards another athlete because that kid started much earlier than they did. 

Or, as it was in our case, my son gets injured more than most of his friends, and he gets frustrated and envious why they don’t go through what he does. 

There are so many heads to the Envy snake, and all it comes down to is seeing it and properly managing the situation. 

That’s what this episode will help you understand better.

Obsession for the Sport - The Good, The Bad and the Unexpected

Distraction big deal today right?  It's a hot topic, yet the important stuff isn't talked about.

With all the social media apps, and electronics and everything else bombarding our kids and us every waking second of the day, we need to take a deeper look at what distraction is about.

But this episode isn’t about THOSE kinds of distractions

I’m talking about the difference between focused magic vs. distractedness when you are not doing what you love.

I’m going to dive into why kids get distracted yet when it comes to their sport they are so present and how this can be used for all parts of their lives and we all can learn from them.

Distraction and Focus in Sports and Life

Who are the decision makers when it comes to your kid's sport? 

Let's make this very, very, very clear.   Kids in extreme sports are not the decision makers. 

They could be the motivators, the ones that come up with ideas.  But they aren’t the ones that make the final decision. 

Learn more in this episode what I’m talking about when I mean Decision Makers.

Are Kids the Decision Makers When It Comes to Their Sport?

Death to Youtube - you’re probably saying - What?!? 

WHY?!?

Here’s the thing, I have nothing against YouTube. On the contrary I think there are great AMAZING things to watch and learn on YouTube.

But here’s what my biggest concern is and I can see how this is affecting my kids and their abilities

When it comes to sports, especially Extreme Sports, what do you see on YouTube? The wins, the new tricks, the crazy extreme shit that we know is done.

In this episode I talk about why there aren’t any videos showing the trial and error, the hardships, the heart aches, the work that goes behind all the successes.

Because that's the truth.

My kids are watching YouTube and are constantly putting their favorite athletes on pedestals and almost feeling like they can never get to where they are.

But they forget, that it took years and many many hours and attempts to do what we are seeing in these videos.

I personally believe that the best YouTube channels that are going to be really helpful are the ones that show the crap that you have to go through. The heartache, the sadness, the work. 

I get it’s important to be watching the athletes show what they do best, so you can see where you can see the outcome. 

But let’s never forget the COME-UP.

Death to YouTube and Other Ways to Help Your Kid: How to Help Your Child Succeed in Sports

Dealing with losses in sports is crucial to how your kid bounces back.

There's no possible way to go around this. This is one of the more devastating parts of it all, but it is an absolute necessity. 

It strengthens your child.

It's what goes on in the house. The conversation is completely part of what is going to go on in the kid's heads and how they work through the process.

What about the injustices? What about the day that your son or daughter,  have to qualify in  competition and they get sick. Or they get injured and a totally lesser kid who has barely put any work gets to do that competition? 

In this episode we talk about how to discuss these situations properly and how to make sense of it all, while still moving forward with confidence.

Recovering From Losses: How to Help Your Athlete Deal with Losses

What is your kids true connection to the sport?

It’s not what you think. And this is what will keep your child committed vs. quitting prematurely.

Learning where the connection begins and planting the roots to keep the child truly inspired in their sport is going to surprise you.

Example: If the parent is the one to introduce the child to the sport, there is a higher chance the kid will continue because it’s a bond that the child can have with their parent.

However, if a parent or someone close to the child can’t find the time to bring them to practice, or the skate park or the rock or whatever their sport outlet is, chances are the interest will die out for the kid.

Find out the real truth and deep rootedness that will keep your child loving what they are doing and so much more …

Finding Your Kid's (Deep) Connection to Their Sport: How to Get Your Kids Interested in Sports

Changing the conversation about sending your kid to college vs. investing in their athletic training.

Once it is evident that your child not only has the goods, but passion, commitment and readiness maybe it's time to focus on those attributes.

And instead of saving for your kid's college education - why not save up for your kids training?

How about taking that money and putting it into their athletic abilities?

Here’s the thing - today it’s totally normal to get an education regardless of your age. 

It’s totally normal to go through several careers changes.

But the hard core reality  is that the best years an athlete can give is when they are young. So why not invest in that? Why not really nurture all that goes with their athletic abilities.

Besides, many university, if they see real potential in kid's abilities will give them scholarships anyway.

And if nothing else, the experience of the training, the work, the discipline they get - that alone will change everybody's lives for the better. Including the parents!

Let’s change the conversation around this!

It's Time to Change the Conversation Around College and Sports Training

Changing your vernacular, the wording, will make all the difference.

There are very easy ways to make this tiny change that can be all the difference.

How Your Words Affect Your Child: Change the Vernacular to Have a Positive Impact on Your Kids

The age old question: does my kid have what it takes to become a star? 

Let’s not fool ourselves by pretending we don’t care about this, we all do. We want to know if our kid has what it takes.

What will it take to get them there? 

In this episode we talk a lot about that, but one thing that really stuck out for me when my kids started climbing was:

Our first climbing coach once told me, that every kid who he trains, their parents come to him and ask, 'so is my kid a champion?'

And his response ALWAYS IS -  talk to me in 5 years.
