September 25, 2022 • Marina Villatoro Kuperman

Here’s something that will surprise you:

Your kids journey, your kids success, your kids failure in their sport has nothing to do with you!

It has nothing to do with your success.

It has nothing to do with your LACK of success.

It has nothing to do with your agenda.

It has nothing to do with who you are as a person.

When you see this for what it really is, then you can finally be there for your kid the right way.

In this episode we talk about how to get out of your own way.

Welcome to Racing Extreme athletes, uncensored. This is your reality check and home for uncensored, trusted advice and stories from the Trail Blazers who came before us because it takes a strategic village to raise an extreme pro athlete. This is your village. Are you guys ready for this episode? This is called this has nothing to do with you. Yeah, this has nothing to do with you getting it? I don't think I'll stick around to really understand what I'm talking about. I'm Marina, your host, mother of two aspiring rock climbers, and wife to an extreme athlete. Ok. Remember this is so important. Remember this. Nothing at all is about you.

Yeah, what he's going to do with you is not the person who is going for this. You are the support system. But nothing is to do with you. None of their little rants, their frustrations, their tears, their lack of winning. Has anything to do with you. It's them. The only thing that does have to do with you is how you're going to be talking about what is happening to them. None of this could be taken personally because a lot of times we do take it personally and I am no stranger to that.

By the way, I have a ton of podcast episodes about this. Please go and check them out. Exactly what I'm talking about, how to deal with these frustrations, how to deal with your lack of agenda and pushing them. How to protect them from you when it's necessary. This is so important because it has nothing to do with you not being the athlete that you wanted to be or not succeeding the way you want it to be. It has nothing to do with you. This is all about your child, and if you're going to be giving them any sort of wrongful, forceful actions, pressure, none of this is going to work out.

That's it, end of story. So you need to decide right now how you're going to deal with this. Are you going to be pushing them? Your agenda, or you're going to step back and see what is actually really necessary for them to take it to that next level. Because it's all about one conversation, two decisions and theory. Remembering that this has nothing to do with you.

All right? Are you guys ready for that task? Are you guys ready to step it up? I know I am. And I had to do a lot of introspection to be able to say I am ready for that. And I still have my moments, don't get me wrong, but I'm also learning. To understand when it's happening and to stop it, OK? And I want to hear the same from you guys. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends. Leave me a review and remember, it takes a strategic village and support to make this happen.
