17. From Reps to Resilience: Helping Your Athlete Thrive Off the Field

In this episode of The Official SportsMoms Playbook Podcast, hosts Rachel and Yaritza dive into a topic every sports parent asks about: How to develop your young athlete beyond regular practices and games. They share personal stories, practical tips, and real-life strategies for building a well-rounded player—on the field, in the classroom, and at home.  

From pitching lessons and skill development to the importance of social time and mental resilience, Rachel and Yaritza open up about what’s working for their own kids and what’s not.

They also introduce an exciting new tool they're working on the Player Report Card designed to create better communication between parents, coaches, and players to support growth in a healthy, fact-based way truly.  Plus, they talk about avoiding burnout, fostering independence at home, and why knowing your child’s personality is key to their success both in sports and in life.
