Dave Mackay is the founder of Sideline Advisor, a counselling and mentoring service for young athletes.
In this episode he chats with Dayna and Jenny about how parents can help kids to thrive in, and enjoy sports, navigate performance-related anxiety and achieve long-term success in their chosen sports. Dave shares why effort matters more than outcomes, why he doesn’t believe in ‘player of the day’ - and why parents should ‘let the coach be the coach’.
He also tackles some of your burning questions like:
- What happens when kids are pushed too hard in sports?
- How can you create memories around sports that go beyond the loss or win?
- What should you do – and not do – on the sideline?
- What are the traits of young people who succeed in sports in the long term?
- What are some myths about high performance sport?
