In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most pivotal transitions in a young athlete’s life: the shift from middle school to high school sports.
You’ll hear about what it really means when a line gets drawn in the sand. Middle school is when tryouts start, cuts happen, and kids begin deciding if they’re all in or ready to walk away. For some, it’s a launchpad to chase dreams at the next level. For others, it’s the moment they realize it’s time to pivot—and both are okay.
We’ll also talk about:


💪 How to support your child when it’s time to train harder, get serious, or explore private coaching and camps


🗣️ Why they need to start leading the communication with coaches—and how to guide them without stepping in


🧭 The importance of letting go a little and allowing them to take ownership of their journey (even when it’s hard for us as parents)


🏗️ How to build on the foundation of discipline, teamwork, and responsibility to help them grow into confident, thoughtful young adults


🎯 What it really takes to play at the college level—and why love for the game must come before everything else, even scholarships and NIL deals


From personal stories with our own kids to lessons learned along the way, this episode is packed with honest insight, tough truths, and a whole lot of encouragement. Whether your child is just getting serious about sports or dreaming of college play, this one’s for you.
