071: The Car Ride Home - How Do Kids Really Feel?
Jan 07, 2022 Episode 71
Diana Stephens & Stephanie Malley

Today we are talking about the often-dreaded car ride home and parent behavior at games.  Athletes often list “the car ride home after games with parents” as their least favorite memory of sports, and parents are often blamed as the reasons why athletes quit sports as kids.

We decided to survey kids to see how they really feel about the the car ride home. We will share those results, and offer our advice based on those results, our own experiences, and shared expert advice.
