Unlock the secrets to nurturing young athletes with the power of goal setting on the Driveway Dads Podcast. Join me, Carl Parker, as I delve into my own experiences, like guiding my son Luke through game-time anxiety, and reveal actionable strategies that can transform the athletic journey of your children. From mastering the art of mental conditioning through techniques like third-person self-talk and box breathing to boosting basketball IQ for a competitive edge, this episode promises to equip both parents and coaches with the tools needed to foster talent alongside effort and consistency.

Explore how setting and achieving small, manageable goals in key areas such as mental conditioning, athletic performance, skill development, and strategic understanding can lay a robust foundation for success. We challenge the misconception of the 10,000-hour rule and emphasize the importance of deliberate practice and dedication. With insights into different types of goals—outcome, performance, and process—this episode offers a roadmap to build champions one goal at a time. By helping athletes set and track their goals, while celebrating victories along the way, parents can play a crucial role in ensuring their child's developmental journey is both fruitful and rewarding.

...and much more.
