Youth Sports Have Changed. You’re Not Crazy.

A Straight-Talking Parent’s Guide to Pressure, Confidence, Coaches, and Keeping the Game Worth Loving

The Kindle edition reads in the free Kindle app — no Kindle device needed.

You want your child to love the game. But the pressure, the schedules, the sideline noise, and the ride home can make youth sports feel anything but simple.

Teddy Dupay knows the game from the inside: as a Florida high school scoring legend, a member of the University of Florida’s 2000 Final Four team, a coach, and a member of the FHSAA Hall of Fame Class of 2026. Through straight talk, personal stories, and practical reflection, this book helps you:

• Build confidence through real progress, not bigger speeches.
• Recognize when your own expectations are getting louder than your child’s needs.
• Think clearly about coaches, trainers, programs, and packed schedules.
• Make the ride home a place for connection.
• Keep your child’s identity bigger than the scoreboard.
