    Parentshift Notes #13

    No guest this week. Just Netflix, two hours, and Rafa Nadal being completely honest. Rafa was the King of Clay. Grass was Roger Federer's territory. Then he decided to change — not his game, his relationship with the surface. Three years later he was Wimbledon champion. That's not talent. That's a choice. His body was breaking down from the very beginning. What he built wasn't the ability to ignore the pain — it was the ability to separate the signal from the story. Match by match, crisis after crisis. And the one that stayed with me: you can't give a child character. You can only create the conditions where they have to find it themselves. Three things to carry into this week: Mastery can be built from scratch, on any surface, at any moment. Mental resilience is the ability to hear the alarm and still choose to move. Stop softening every landing. Character doesn't come from comfort. That's ParentShift.

    Three Years Anniversary

    Three years ago, Hernan launched The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe with a simple mission — to create a space where parents could feel seen, supported, and better equipped to raise resilient, happy athletes. What followed was something he didn't fully anticipate: a global community of families navigating the beautiful chaos of youth sports together. In this solo episode, Hernan reflects on the journey — where it started, what it has become, and where it's going. This one is a thank you — and an invitation to keep going. If today's conversation resonated, I will send one idea every Friday for sports parents.  Subscribe at hernanchousa.com

    Monday Reset #34 - Voice

    Welcome to the 34th Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe. Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Voice. In youth sports, feelings pile up fast. And most kids don't have the words for them yet — they need us to create the space before they can find them. Voice is the tool that turns emotion into understanding. When a child learns to express what they feel, they're not just processing sport — they're building self-awareness that carries into everything else. That starts with us making it safe enough to speak. This week, create one moment with no agenda. Just ask, listen, and let it land. Take a breath. Reset. A child who finds their voice in sport finds it everywhere else too. Subscribe at hernanchousa.com for one idea every Friday for sports parents.

    Parentshift #12

    The World Cup just started in the United States. And the lesson this week comes from Messi — not at his peak, but at 39. For years he was the best player in the world and the most questioned man in Argentina. The narrative was clear: he can't do it for his country. He kept showing up anyway. Qatar 2022, Copa América 2024 — two titles in two years after decades of near misses. That's not luck. That's what happens when someone refuses to let the story end before it's finished. And now he's back. Playing on tired legs against a generation that grew up watching him and now wants to take what he has. He's playing anyway — not to prove something, but because he loves the game more than the crown. Three things to carry into this week: Stay in the room. The narrative isn't the ending. Confidence comes before the win. Teach them to carry themselves like they've already earned it. Love the game more than the crown. That's what keeps you on the field long after the easy years are gone. That's ParentShift.

Together, they help families create calmer, more conscious homes where kids can feel grounded even when the pressure of competition is high.

    Monday Reset #33 - Doubt

    Welcome to the 33rd Monday Reset for Sports Parents — a short reflection inside The Youth Sports Parenting Tribe. Each Monday Reset brings you one word, one idea, and one mindset to help you start the week calm, clear, and connected. This week's word is Doubt. Not your child's doubt. Yours. Am I pushing too hard or not enough? Is this the right sport, the right coach, the right decision? Are they happy? Are they thriving? Am I doing this right? Doubt is part of the job. It shows up in the car ride home, in the middle of the night, in the stands when you're not sure whether to say something or stay quiet. And most parents carry it alone, convinced that everyone else seems to have it figured out. They don't. And the doubt doesn't mean you're failing — it means you're paying attention. This week, don't try to silence the doubt. Just don't let it make decisions for you. Take a breath. Reset. A parent who questions themselves is a parent who cares. That's already more than enough.

    Parentshift Notes #11

    A few weeks ago, Alexander Zverev won the French Open — one of the four Grand Slams in tennis. And the lesson he left me with didn't come from anything he said. For most of his career he played in someone else's shadow. Nadal, Federer, Djokovic, Alcaraz. Every time he looked up, someone else was holding the trophy. He won his first Grand Slam at 29. Not because the competition disappeared. Because he never did. Simon Sinek calls it the infinite game — where the goal isn't to win, but to keep playing. Are we teaching our kids to play for the win, or to stay in the game? For the first time in decades, tennis has no dominant force. The game is open. The world our kids are growing into looks the same. But openness only becomes opportunity for those willing to still be in the room. Two things to carry into this week: Stay in the game. Not every season brings the trophy — some seasons just keep you ready for the one that does. Teach them to see the opening. The world rewards those who show up when others have already walked away.

    Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers

    Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers is a licensed marriage and family therapist, sex therapist, and emeriti professor with over 25 years of experience helping individuals and families heal shame and build genuine connection. She is the author of Shameless Parenting — Everything You Need to Raise Shame-Free, Confident Kids (and Heal Your Shame Too!), a guide that breaks down exactly what kids need developmentally from birth through age 18. Long before her career in therapy, Dr. Tina was a competitive figure skater and an Olympic hopeful from the age of five through her mid-adolescence. That experience gave her a firsthand understanding of what it means to push a young body to its limits — and what it can teach a child about their own capability, capacity, and strength when the environment around them allows it. In this episode, Dr. Tina brings these two worlds together, helping parents understand what their children need at each stage of development, how shame quietly shapes the way kids relate to performance and pressure, and how youth athletics can become a place where kids discover the brilliance of their own bodies rather than fear of falling short.
