This week, we sit down with not one, but two elite-level gymnasts to chat all things athletics, parenting, and what it really takes to support a driven child without driving them nuts. From the grit of training to the glory of gold medals, we talk about growing up in high-pressure sports—and how that shapes the way we now raise our own little athletes.
How hard should you push? When do you pull back? Is it okay to let them quit? And what happens when your dream isn’t their dream? We go there.
We also dive into the importance of rest and recovery (yes, even for 10-year-olds), letting kids choose their own path, and why parenting an athlete might just require as much mental toughness as being one.
Whether your kid is on a soccer field or glued to the couch—this one’s for you.
