Sports Parents, You Can't Force Your Kid to the NBA | Jordan Dam

"He's not growing." Maybe it's because you wake him up at 5 a.m. to train every day. JDam has seen it from every side: player, trainer and dad. The game is 90% mental, and too many parents load pressure on kids way too young. One sport only. Yelling after a bad training. AAU in first grade. Training is the time to mess up. In this segment: - Why some guys who never work out still want the ball in the biggest moments - One sport only? They might be the next Messi and you'll never know - No deep sleep, no REM, all pressure - Why so many kids quit after their first year of college - What JDam does differently as a dad - Let them fall in love with the game first, then show them the work it takes You can't force a kid to be great. You can show them what it takes.
