Episode 6: Is There a Correct Parenting Style for Your Athlete?

Is there a perfect way to parent a young athlete?

In Episode 6 of **Swim Moms of NJ**, we explore one of the most important—and challenging—topics for sports parents. We discuss different parenting approaches, how pressure can affect young athletes, and why nearly 70% of kids quit organized sports by age 13.

Our conversation focuses on helping parents create an environment where confidence, resilience, and enjoyment come before results. We also share practical ways to support swimmers through success, disappointment, and everything in between.
