In this episode, I’m diving deep into the &quot;sacred&quot; space of the car ride home and why we need to stop letting &quot;monsters&quot; of future anxiety take up a seat in our vehicles . As sports parents, it’s so easy to slip into coaching mode or let our own frustrations leak out after a tough loss, but our athletes’ brains are wired for survival and often see those critiques as a reason to quit . Drawing on wisdom from Paulo Coelho and Marcus Aurelius, I discuss how extraordinary parenting is found in the simple things—like knowing when a kid just needs a quiet ride or a Chick-fil-A milkshake instead of a lecture on footwork . Let’s commit to making our cars a safe place to fail so our kids can build the genuine confidence they need to succeed .
