Why Your Athlete Doesn’t Listen… And What To Do About It

Описание: Youth sports parenting is hard. Communication between parents and athletes ages 10–18 can feel frustrating, especially in travel baseball, high school sports, and recruiting season.

If your athlete won’t listen, this episode of The Parents Porch breaks down 8 practical ways to improve communication, build trust, and develop your child for the long game.

As a former Division 1 recruiting coordinator who has sat at the table with over 400 D1 scholarship families, I’ve seen how parent communication shapes development, recruiting outcomes, and long-term success.

In this episode we cover:

0:00 He Won’t Listen to Me

2:00 Remove Emotion and Set Boundaries
3:00 Open Up First and Share Your Story
4:00 Play the Long Game Perspective
5:00 Mirror Their Effort
6:00 You Are a Team

The Parents Porch is an extension of The Athlete’s Porch. This one is for the parents. It’s open dialogue for youth sports, high school, and college families who want better perspective, healthier communication, and long-term development for their athlete. What you say and what you do matters more than what you may be thinking. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

If you care about youth sports development, recruiting, travel teams, mindset, and raising resilient athletes, this playlist is for you.
