A very moving video looking at the sporting journey through the eyes of this incredible young man Johnny Tuivasa-Sheck.
So many things to reflect on here for sporting parents and how the power of our words and expectations can have such an impact on our young people.
There is clearly a very fine line between being pushy or supportive as a sporting parent so why not check in with your children today.
Ask them:
1. Why do you play your sport?
2. What can I do to best support you and your sporting journey?
I urge you to really listen to their responses, it will allow you to understand, motivate, have shared goals and support in a way that your children would really like you to.
