044. Lessons From the Field: What We've Learned! (Part 2)

In the second part of "Lessons From the Field", we flip the persepctive from our kids to ourselves, diving into lessons that we as parents learned from supporting our young athletes!

Snippet from the Show: "Your relationship is not with the sport. Your relationship is with your child. And one day, they are not going to play that sport anymore."

"What happens when that sport is not there anymore? Do they still know that you love them for who they are, not for the sport they play?" — Shelly Kelly

QUOTE: "Sport, properly directed, develops character, makes a man courageous, a generous loser, and a gracious victor;” Pope Pius XII
