As a parent, it’s natural to want the best for your child. You want them to be confident, capable, and to reach their full potential - whether it’s in sports, school, or other passions. But there’s a fine line between encouraging and over-pushing.

When choosing to play a sport, you’re putting yourself in a position to win or lose. And we need to be ready for both outcomes. In sport, defeat is inevitable.
