Youth sports can be amazing-and completely overwhelming. One week, your kid is flying high, the next, they're in tears on the car ride home, ready to quit forever. Meanwhile, you're stuck in the middle, trying to support them without becoming "that parent" in the stands. Raising Resilient Athletes is a practical, no-guilt guide to the mental side of youth sports, written for parents who care about more than stats and scholarships. Mental performance coach James Leath has spent over twenty years working with athletes, coaches, and families at every level-from rec leagues to the pros. In these pages, he shows you how to turn sports into a training ground for confidence, resilience, and character. You'll learn how to help your child: Handle nerves, mistakes, and pressureBounce back from slumps, cuts, and lost playing timeBuild real confidence without fake hypeDevelop healthier self-talk and inner toughnessKeep their identity bigger than their jerseyYou'll also get specific tools for car rides, kitchen-table talks, and bedtime conversations, plus ready-to-use scripts for challenging moments: bad games, drama with coaches or teammates, injuries, wanting to quit, and more. This book isn't about raising perfect athletes. It's about raising solid humans who can feel big emotions, do hard things, and keep showing up-with you as a steady, supportive teammate along the way.
