One of the most common questions I receive from parents is, "How much should my child be training?"

One of the biggest misconceptions in sports is the belief that successful athletes are always motivated. In reality, even the most accomplished athletes experience days when they do not feel like training, competing, or putting in the work necessary to improve. The difference is not that they have more motivation. The difference is that they have developed discipline.

One of the greatest challenges we see at SPMI is emotional control, particularly anger. Parents often reach out to us because their young athlete's emotions are interfering with their ability to perform at their full potential. Over the years, we have helped thousands of athletes improve and, in many cases, master their emotional control both in sport and in life. Yet anger remains one of the most common and visible struggles athletes face.
