Episode 17: The Ride Home After a Game

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of the post-game car ride in shaping a child's sports experience.

In this episode, we unpack the post-game car ride—and how that moment, more than the game itself, shapes your child's experience in sports and beyond. We'll explore the tension between wanting to help and needing to connect, why timing matters more than tips, and how focusing on the relationship instead of the result can transform your role as a sports parent.
