How to Navigate the Sports Parent Minefield

You’re a concerned, supportive sports parent. You spend tons of time and energy chauffeuring your kid to practices, games, meetings, etc. You keep them as healthy as you can, and fight for the work/life/play balance. You’re walking the Sports Parent Minefield!

Let’s not even talk about how much money you spend on them for their sports, right?  (Sorry, didn’t mean to bring that up).

And with all of that…you can say one wrong thing and at just the wrong time…

Well, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help (and I’m not from the government)!
