One mistake athletes often make is relying too heavily on their parents or support system. By getting their parents to ask questions, email, or intervene on their behalf, they miss the opportunity to take ownership of their game. This not only creates a negative bias from coaches, but also prevents athletes from developing resilience and control over their career. Teenagers and above should strive to remove the dependency on their parents and embrace the responsibility and autonomy that comes with owning their own development.
