Are you a parent of a child with high potential in sport? Are yiu, like me, keen not to screw it up?! Then this brilliant podcast is everything you need to make yourself more supportive, tolerant and ultimately more confident as you nurture your little superstar to whatever she or he is capable of. You couldn’t ask for better guests - you’ll learn something from every episode. Thanks Gordon for this great series!
I really like this show, interviews are always interesting and I often take helpful tips for my own self reflection as a parent either from the guests or from Gordon’s own description of his experiences. To name a few would be that it’s good to win as this presents a learning opportunity, allowing space for my child to reflect on his own experience and performance in his sport, whereas inside I might be itching to dissect his or the team performance.
I'm the mum of two young sons with a sporting and coaching background but I'm just starting out as a sports parent. Absolutely loving this podcast, the conversations are so relevant and insightful.
