Offseason Discipline Builds In-Season Confidence | V112

In Episode 112 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis unpack a powerful lesson their daughters learned through tennis tryouts:

You can win the match… and still lose the relationship.

They discuss:

• Why offseason preparation matters more than last-minute effort
• Training physically and mentally before tryouts
• How sibling competition can either strengthen or damage connection
• Why winning at the expense of your sibling isn’t real victory
• The long-term importance of family unity over short-term sports success

If you have multiple kids in the same sport — or competitive personalities in your home — this episode will help you lead wisely.
