Sports Parents, this is for you.
How you talk to your child matters.
Here are 10 Phrases that All Athletes Need to Hear...
1: “I LOVE WATCHING YOU PLAY"
This is a powerful statement to a child. There is no judgment or criticism. Ultimately, this is all you really need to say.
2: “I BELIEVE IN YOU”
Do you want to build confidence in your child? Tell them you believe in them. They need to hear this from adults.
3: "DO YOUR BEST"
We are all different. We all have different skill sets. All we can ever do is our best.
4: "BE GREAT AT WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT"
This encourages athletes to focus on their strengths. It helps kids define their role on the team.
5: "LOVE YOUR TEAMMATES"
The joy of team sports comes from the commitment to your teammates. Athletes need to care about their teammates.
6: "NEXT PLAY"
This is a move-on mindset. Don't dwell on a mistake and make another. Don’t celebrate after a great play so much that you lose your focus. This teaches athletes composure and poise.
7: "MAKE MEMORIES"
Live in the moment. A season goes fast. Your high school career goes fast. Appreciate the moments and cherish the memories.
8: “PASS THE MIRROR TEST"
Can you look in the mirror each night? And tell yourself that you did your best, left it on the field or court, were a good teammate, etc.
9: "LEAD BY EXAMPLE"
This is the first step to leadership. Be on time, and have a high character. Bring positive energy. Be one of the hardest workers. Be committed.
10: “LEAD OUT LOUD"
Lead by Example, then Lead Out Loud. Be a Vocal Leader. Be an Encourager. Be willing to hold teammates accountable.
