🗣️ Parent-Athlete Communication Card
$0.00
Build trust. Reduce guesswork. Strengthen connection.
Use this card during a calm moment—not after a game or in the heat of emotion. Invite your athlete to reflect and respond. You can write their answers together or revisit them over time.
🔹 BEFORE YOU PLAY: What helps you feel ready, calm, or confident? Prompt: What do you need from me before you play?
Examples:
- Just a fist bump and space
- Remind me of my strengths
- Help me stay focused, not rushed
🔹 DURING THE GAME: What support feels good while you’re competing? Prompt: What do you need from me during the game?
Examples:
- Cheer, but don’t coach
- Stay present, not distracted
- Watch me, even if I mess up
🔹 AFTER IT’S OVER: What helps you process, recover, or reflect? Prompt: What do you need from me after it’s over?
Examples:
- Let me talk first
- Say one thing you noticed
- Give me time before we talk
💡 Bonus Tip: Use their answers to shape your habits. Confidence grows when they feel seen, heard, and supported—on their terms.
*Many athletes may not know the answer right away, but this at least gets them to start taking thinking about it.
