Young athletes dream of success in professional sports. They know they’ll be great when they get their big chance, but the road between now and then is anything but an easy ride.

Hear from an Orthopedic Surgeon/Coach how to contribute constructively into your child’s athletic career with experiences in injuries, teaching surgical residents, and coaching for the last 20 years.

As parents, we have a duty to guide our young ones through the trials and tribulations of growing up, and their struggles on the path to sporting greatness are no exception.
You don’t have to have been a pro athlete yourself or work in the sporting industry to give your child the mental resilience they need to make it big.
From rejection and loss to the heights of victory, there are key lessons you can teach your young athlete to ensure they are prepared to take whatever is thrown at them.
Parenting Mental Toughness for Your Young Athlete is packed with invaluable advice for parents raising young athletes.
Understanding how to balance your child’s sporting aspirations with their academics, chores and household responsibilities, and even the usual business of growing up can be a challenge for any parent.
Parenting Mental Toughness for Your Young Athlete will teach you

• how to be the parent your young athlete needs
• how to ensure you cultivate a positive and supportive environment
• how to help your child manage loss and failure along the path to greatness
• how to ensure your child is healthy mentally and physically through nutrition, rest, and support, including recipes to guide healthy eating
• how to set realistic expectations for young athletes so they can grow at the pace they need.

Raising a young athlete requires you to impart the mental resilience and understanding they need to get through a day of training, school, and games.
The impact of your parenting on your young athlete can be the difference between a child who feels supported in their purpose and a child who doesn’t.
