The Car Ride Home

The most important fifteen minutes in youth sports, and the one nobody coaches. What you say when your athlete gets in the car can build them up or quietly tear them down. Tell me what happened today and I'll hand you the play for tonight.

Researchers asked college athletes what their parents said that they loved hearing most. It was not advice or analysis. It was five words. I love to watch you play. They were also asked what they dreaded most. The ride home, the questions, the play-by-play while the game was still raw. This tool makes sure tonight goes the first way.
