Date: 28 April
Time: 17h30-18h30
Description:
A practical, evidence-informed workshop for parents of young athletes looking to support performance, resilience, and long-term love of sport. Learn actionable Red2Blue Mindset skills, communication strategies, and everyday practices to help your child manage pressure, emotions, setbacks, and motivation — while strengthening trust and enjoyment in the process.
Join us for a monthly workshop series that explores these themes in depth — each month we’ll focus on a different topic (pressure, growth mindset, confidence vs. performance, emotional regulation, effort and accountability, communication, and more). Bring your questions, share experiences with other parents, and take away practical tools you can use immediately at home and on the field.
Topics covered:
- Learning to help children perform under pressure using Red2Blue Mindset skills.
- Defining the parent’s role: supporting development of a growth mindset.
- Separating confidence from single-performance outcomes.
- Handling hard things without giving up — persistence versus burnout.
- Viewing mistakes as feedback; resisting the urge to rescue from disappointment.
- Why sustained effort creates opportunity — teaching deliberate practice.
- Navigating big emotions in healthy, sport-appropriate ways.
- Why parental accountability builds trust and reliability.
- Finding joy in the process, not only in outcomes and wins.
- The words parents use: phrasing that builds resilience, not pressure.
- Focusing on controllables vs. uncontrollables (effort, preparation, attitude).
- Building routines and pre-performance rituals that reduce anxiety.
- Helping kids set realistic, process-oriented goals and track progress.
- Recognizing signs of overtraining, stress, or declining motivation.
- Promoting autonomy: how to step back while staying supportive.
- Practical communication tools for post-game conversations and feedback.
- Creating team- and family-cultures that prioritize development and wellbeing.
- Anti-doping – how to register medication.
