Have you ever felt a little lost when it comes to supporting your daughter through puberty? It’s a pivotal time in her life, and it can be confusing, especially with all the changes happening both physically and emotionally. You might be wondering how to help her feel confident and love herself as she navigates this journey. Well, you’re not alone. As parents, we’re all looking for ways to guide our daughters through this complex phase, and that’s exactly what today’s conversation is all about.
As a coach, every season is unique. The players, challenges, and opportunities come together to create a story. For my high school volleyball team this year, that story concluded in an incredible fourth consecutive state championship win. It’s still hard to believe, it feels like a dream. Rewatching the game film three times has barely made it sink in!
Are you holding yourself back without even realizing it? If you’ve ever played a game thinking, “I just don’t want to mess up,” you might be stuck in a mindset that limits your potential. There’s a huge difference between playing to win and playing not to lose – and that difference could be what’s keeping you from reaching your full athletic potential!
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever to create a supportive environment for our young athletes. Rob, a passionate advocate for mental wellness in sports, shares insights on fostering meaningful conversations between parents and their children in the sports arena.

If you’re reading this, I already know something about you: You deeply care about your daughter; not just how she performs in her sport, but how she feels about herself while she’s doing it.
We’ve all been there: watching our daughter walk off the field or court after a tough game.

Let’s talk about summer: not the relaxing-by-the-pool kind, but the kind where you’re showing up, putting in the work, and getting noticed.
Let’s be honest: sometimes the hardest part of youth sports isn’t the games, the practices, or even the tough losses. It’s the sideline drama.
