FEATURED EPISODE
When the sport your child loves starts causing tears, anxiety, or sleepless nights, it can be hard to know what to do next.
On this episode, child and adolescent psychiatrist (and former college athlete and coach) Dr. Peter Kass joins us to talk about the mental side of youth sports.
We dive into when “normal nerves” become something more, what actually helps anxious athletes, and how parents and coaches can support performance and joy. This conversation offers practical, compassionate tools you can start using at the very next game or practice.
