Playing sports is about much more than a single game. It’s more than a tournament and it’s more than a season. For kids, playing high school sports is about having fun, building lifelong friendships, preparing to take on future challenges, learning how to be a good teammate, and simply enjoying the sport.
So how can we as parents and coaches show up and support the student athletes in our lives, regardless of performance or the outcome of the game? The InSideOut Initiative sat down with high school students and asked them—why they play, how they feel about parental pressure, and what kind of support they need before, during and after the game.
Watch the video to learn how we can collectively help create a fun and enriching sports experience for our student athletes.
