Today's episode, Mental Edge Parents Live call, revolves around different approaches parents take to support their athletes, some of the common pitfalls that come along with this, and the key learnings derived from these experiences. Parental tensions and expectations, ego, maintaining relationships, and managing emotions, particularly in high-stress situations, are explored extensively. Contributions also extend to discussing the impacts of parents' reactions on their children’s performance and overall participation in the sport.
