Most people think confidence is something athletes have or don’t have.

“Everyone thinks you’re absolutely out of your mind until something works.”

As a parent, you want your child to succeed in sport, yet we often only think of success in terms of winning or losing. Instead, success can be measured not just by winning games and trophies, but by growing into an individual who is confident, focused, and can demonstrate resilience when challenges arise. These are the wins that matter the most because the lessons your child learns through sport can largely shape who they become far beyond the playing field.
