Parent Corner #1

When most parents think about youth sports, they picture uniforms, snacks, and carpool schedules. But what if I told you the sidelines could be one of the most important mission fields in your family’s life?

Sports culture is loud—it tells our kids their value comes from performance, stats, and wins. But as parents, we get to speak a louder truth. We can remind them they are loved, chosen, and valuable no matter what happens on the field.

This week, challenge yourself to see the sidelines as sacred. Use those moments before and after games to pour life into your child. Cheer for their effort, not just their points. Tell them you love watching them play—not because they’re great, but because they’re yours.

And on the ride home? Ask two simple but powerful questions:What was awesome today? What was challenging?

These questions open the door for honest conversation, help your child process the day, and show that you care about more than just the scoreboard.

Takeaway: Don’t let sports culture disciple your child. You’re the coach they’ll never forget.
