One day, the practices stop.
The tournaments stop.
The uniforms get put away.
The car rides to games become memories.
And eventually, nobody remembers the score.
But your child will remember how it felt to have you beside them while they were playing.
That is one of the biggest lessons I learned raising my daughters through sports.
I spent a lot of years focused on helping them become better athletes.
Looking back, I understand something much more clearly now:
The athlete was always temporary.
Being their dad wasn’t.
That’s really what The Parent Behind the Athlete is about.
Not raising the best athlete.
Learning how to stay connected to the person underneath the uniform while helping them chase whatever they’re capable of becoming.
Because the games eventually end.
The relationship doesn’t.
