Intentionally decide what type of experience you want to give your athlete (and who you want to be in relation to them) on their journey.

OVERVIEW

1. Coach Wade addresses parents, guardians, and supporters, urging them to clarify how they want to show up for their athlete after the athlete completes vision work.
2. He invites supporters to define a personal “north star” for their role—who they want to be during the athlete’s successes, struggles, and moments of anger or lashing out—so their reactions aren’t dictated by the athlete’s behavior.
3. He recommends writing answers by hand in a notebook and, if applicable, integrating spiritual or religious practices like prayer or meditation.
4. He emphasizes there is no single right approach (hands-on or hands-off depends on age and stage),
5. He encourages listening without escalating conflict, and suggests using the written vision as an anchor to return to during difficult moments as part of an ongoing growth process.
