How I Helped My Son Push Through Soccer — Without Burning Him Out

There was a point where my son wanted to quit soccer.
It got hard. He got discouraged. And as a dad, I had to decide what kind of lesson to teach.

In this video, I share:
• How we helped him push through the tough moments without forcing him
• Why perseverance matters — and how to teach it the right way
• Why we eventually switched to a coach that better fit his personality and growth as a player

This wasn’t about trophies.
It was about character, confidence, and learning how to handle adversity.

Sometimes being a good parent means pushing…
Sometimes it means pivoting.
This video shows both.
