What it’s about
Greatness isn’t the podium.
“Sports are an environment where kids develop a sense of self. While many athletes, parents, and coaches believe that the goal is getting to the top of the podium, sports is really more about developing a human who has pride, grit, and emotional poise who can launch themself into a life that’s far greater than any playing field.”
“The goal is not to fill a trophy case, get a college scholarship, or go pro, it’s to empower your child to find something they love and want to practice with tenacity, joy, and consistency.”
“Sport is not the end point, but the launchpad for developing the mindset, habits, and physical and emotional muscle memory for knowing how to pursue greatness in life.”
— from the book
How it’s built
Three parts.
The Frame
“Sports are an environment where kids develop a sense of self… The majority of your child’s life will be beyond athletics, so the opportunity is to frame athletics up as a launchpad for life, not the destination.”
The Action
“The actions of great athletes are nothing extraordinary, but rather ordinary actions done extra.”
The Competition
“The parent’s job at competitions is simple. Reduce ambiguity and friction. Give love. Get out of the way. Anything more than those three is likely counterproductive.”
