A Tale of Two Parents (Same Camp. Two Outcomes.)
This weekend, two parents watched their athletes compete at the same national camp.
Same drills.Same environment.Same pressure.
What separated the outcomes wasn’t the camp —it was what happened after.
🟢 Parent #1 (After a Rough Camp):
“You just didn’t have it today.”
The athlete hears:
- It was random
- There’s nothing to fix
- Move on and hope next time is better
The result?Nothing changes.
🟢 Parent #2 (After the Same Camp):
“Let’s talk about what changed when the pressure picked up.”
The athlete hears:
- This is information
- Pressure exposed something trainable
- Growth is possible
Same camp.Two very different paths.
🟢 After a “Good” Camp:
One parent says:
“Now you have to keep this up.”
Another says:
“Let’s double down on what worked.”
One creates pressure.The other creates confidence.
👉 The Question That Matters Most:
What does your athlete hear from you on the drive home?
