The car ride home, every Sunday ↓

[Scott Mead · Mental Performance Coach @CoachScottMead]

Last night with @softballhype a recruiter asked what you tell the kid who did everything right and still didn't get the call.

For the rest of September: tag 3 parents below, DM me TOGETHER, I'll send a code. Premium $3/mo. Families $5. For life.

988 if it's heavier than a game.

There are four ways we do that ride. I'd bet you've tried three of them. None of them make you a bad parent — three of them cost you the conversation.

Thirteen days left

The whole app, locked for life. Three dollars a month for an athlete. Five for a whole family. That's not an intro rate that jumps later — that's the price, for as long as you keep it.

I coached my four-year-old's game this weekend and I couldn't stop watching the stands.

Everybody was smiling. Both teams. Nobody coaching from the bleachers, nobody arguing a call.

Coached my four-year-old's game this weekend.

Two teams, two sets of parents, and every one of them was cheering for every kid out there.
Nobody knew the score. I still don't.

isn't naive. It's the one that's right.

Hundreds of you told me which adults failed my daughter. I want to push back — not to defend anybody.

It doesn't. It's four seconds and one sentence: "That's a kid. Knock it off."

Don't leave with a list of who failed. Leave with the sentence. 🔗 in bio

My daughter is fourteen. A grown man screamed at her for thirty seconds while she was line judging, and a gym full of adults watched it.

He forgot it in the parking lot. She's still carrying it.

Be a fan. Protect the kids. 🔗 in bio

Dustin Pedroia on your 12-year-old: "Let him be twelve. The talent ain't going away. He needs to learn how to fail." You can't fix youth sports. You can fix the car ride. 🔗 in bio

Tonight, ask him: "What actually happens if you boot it?" Make him say the whole thing. It never survives being said out loud. 🔗 in bio

"I'm not scared of striking out. I'm scared of letting my team down." An athlete sent me that. Two different fears, and we coach them like they're the same one. Nobody plays well carrying twelve people. 🔗 in bio

The offseason math (pairs with the burnout theme)

[Scott Mead · Mental Performance Coach @CoachScottMead]

The scorebook says 0-for-3. The scorebook is wrong.

Three balls hit hard is a good day that didn’t pay. If you let the number do the talking, they’ll start fixing a swing that was working.
Tell them what you actually saw. Before they check the book.
