Are You Accidentally Pushing Your Kid Away At Their Games?
The 7 warning signs every competitive parent needs to know—and exactly what to do about them before it's too late
This Was Never Supposed to Feel Like This
You love your kid more than anything.
You show up to every game. You invest in their development. You see their incredible potential.
But lately, something feels... off.
Your kid tenses up when you arrive at games
You're replaying losses in your head for days
Your spouse says you're "too intense"
Your kid has stopped talking to you about their sport
You can't sleep after they lose
You're coaching from the sidelines (even though you promised you wouldn't)
The joy is gone from their sport—replaced with stress and anxiety
If even ONE of these sounds familiar, you need this FREE playbook.

Immediate action steps you can take THIS WEEK to start repairing the relationship
How to channel your competitive fire in a way that builds your kid up instead of burning them out

WHO THIS IS FOR:
This playbook was written specifically for Christian parents who played high school and/or college sports and are discovering that the same intensity that made them successful is now creating problems they never saw coming.
If that's you, a former athlete who's struggling with your emotions around your kid's sports, this is for you.
HERE'S WHAT OTHER PARENTS ARE SAYING:
THE COST OF WAITING
Here's what happens if you don't address this now:
The distance between you and your kid will grow.
The resentment will build.
Your kid's love for their sport will die.
And by the time it feels urgent, significant damage may already be done.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
You can change this. Starting today.
