Practical Wisdom for Families with Athletes

Winning Isn't the Ultimate Goal

By: David Fraze, Monica Williams

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Competitive athletics is broken. We are building “champions,” but we have lost the true reward of athletic involvement. We need some practical wisdom to better navigate the journey.

Fraze and Williams invite parents, coaches, and athletes into deeper conversations about the nature of their relationship with competitive athletics. This book cannot make your athlete a superstar, but it can help them become the best version of themselves. It also cannot make your athlete’s difficult team environment better, but you and your athlete can better understand how to navigate such situations.

We have an opportunity to do something meaningful and challenge the all-in, identity-robbing practices in sports so athletes can do what they were initially recruited to do: have fun with friends!
