Real Talk for Parents: Parents relaxxxxxx


“Parents… relax.”

I say this with love: comparison is stealing the joy out of this process.

Some of you are stressing yourselves out because another kid got an offer, another kid posted a visit, another kid announced something your child hasn’t hit yet.

But here’s the truth —
their timeline has nothing to do with your child’s timeline.

Opportunities come at different speeds for different kids.
Development hits at different times.
Coaches evaluate based on what they need in the moment.

None of that is a reflection of your son or daughter’s worth.

And this constant comparing?
It’s draining you.
It’s draining your kid.
And honestly… it’s unnecessary.

Focus on your child.
Support their path.
Advocate when needed, absolutely — but stop putting pressure on them because of what somebody else posted.

Somewhere along the way, the offers stopped being about the kids… and started being about the adults.

Let’s get back to what matters.

Relax.
Trust the work.
Trust the journey.

Your child’s moment will come when it’s supposed to.
