Welcome to the 38th Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe.Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Fear. Not the kind that stops your child. The kind that drives you. There's a fear that lives underneath youth sports parenting that we don't always name — but it shapes everything. And most of the time, it has nothing to do with the game in front of

Parveen Smith left me with three things I haven't stopped thinking about. She's a neuroscience coach, bestselling author, and award-winning entrepreneur — and one of her non-negotiables is family. Not as a balance strategy, but as a pillar. We live in a world that calls absence dedication. Our kids don't measure our love in achievements. They measure it in moments. Her method wasn't built in a classroom. It came from seven years of not being able to walk, talk, eat, or breathe on her own. What she

Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Growth. Are you measuring the right thing? We track goals, minutes, rankings, scouts. But the growth that actually matters doesn't show up on any scoreboard — the kid who resets after a bad play instead of falling apart, the one who now asks the

Welcome to the 36th Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe. Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Ritual. Not your child's. Yours. Every athlete has pregame routines — a signal to the body and mind that it's time. But parents have rituals too, and most of us have never examined them. What does your drive to the game sound like? What happens in

A few weeks ago I was at Queens, watching the semifinals in person. And Fran Cerúndolo gave me three things I haven't stopped thinking about. He arrived with no momentum, no narrative, no pressure. Nobody was writing about him as a contender on grass. And maybe that was exactly the point — when you carry no expectations, you carry no weight. How often do we load our kids with our hopes and timelines before they even step on the court? Between points, Fran and his coach Nico Massú had intense

Monday Reset #35 - Enough

2026/07/06

Welcome to the 35th Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe. Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Enough. Not as a consolation. As a foundation. One of the quietest pressures in youth sports is the feeling that love and approval are tied to performance. Kids rarely say it out loud, but many of them feel it — that a bad game means something about

No guest this week. Just Netflix, two hours, and Rafa Nadal being completely honest. Rafa was the King of Clay. Grass was Roger Federer's territory. Then he decided to change — not his game, his relationship with the surface. Three years later he was Wimbledon champion. That's not talent. That's a choice. His body was breaking down from the very beginning. What he built wasn't the ability to ignore the pain — it was the ability to separate the signal from the story. Match by match, crisis after

Three Years Anniversary

Three years ago, Hernan launched The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe with a simple mission — to create a space where parents could feel seen, supported, and better equipped to raise resilient, happy athletes. What followed was something he didn't fully anticipate: a global community of families navigating the beautiful chaos of youth sports together. In this solo episode, Hernan reflects on the journey — where it started, what it has become, and where it's going. This one is a thank you — and an

Welcome to the 34th Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe. Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Voice. In youth sports, feelings pile up fast. And most kids don't have the words for them yet — they need us to create the space before they can find them. Voice is the tool that turns emotion into understanding. When a child learns to express what

The World Cup just started in the United States. And the lesson this week comes from Messi — not at his peak, but at 39. For years he was the best player in the world and the most questioned man in Argentina. The narrative was clear: he can't do it for his country. He kept showing up anyway. Qatar 2022, Copa América 2024 — two titles in two years after decades of near misses. That's not luck. That's what happens when someone refuses to let the story end before it's finished. And now he's back

Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Doubt. Not your child's doubt. Yours. Am I pushing too hard or not enough? Is this the right sport, the right coach, the right decision? Are they happy? Are they thriving? Am I doing this right? Doubt is part of the job.

A few weeks ago, Alexander Zverev won the French Open — one of the four Grand Slams in tennis. And the lesson he left me with didn't come from anything he said.For most of his career he played in someone else's shadow. Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Alcaraz. Every time he looked up, someone else was holding the trophy. He won his first Grand Slam at 29. Not because the competition disappeared. Because he never did. Simon Sinek calls it the infinite game — where the goal isn't to win, but to keep

Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Connection. Not the kind that happens on the sideline or in the car after a game. The kind that doesn't need a result to exist.

Last Sunday, 19-year-old Kimi Antonelli won the Monaco Grand Prix — one of the most prestigious and unforgiving races in Formula One history. And nothing about what he showed had anything to do with speed. He stepped into Formula One at 18 with a quiet, almost unreasonable belief that he belonged — not arrogance, just certainty. Are we building that in our kids? Ten laps to go, comfortable lead, red flag. Two hours of racing reset in an instant. Lewis Hamilton right behind him. Kimi came out
