Parents, remember why your kids play sports. Be their biggest fan and shoulder of support!
I am a youth athlete.
I am brave, strong, and talented.
But, I'm still just a kid.
I'm not perfect.
I am a work in progress.
I need you to be patient.
While I test the limits of my body and work through the emotions that come with success and failure.
When I make a mistake, I wonder if you'll be disappointed.
When I reach my goals, I look to see if you are watching.
I am a youth athlete, I love my sport.
You call it competition. I call it playing the game.
I am a youth athlete.
I am your athlete.
Winning feels great, but your praise feels indefinitely better.
Please remember these things and I promise to do my best and make you proud.
