💛 She looks up at you more than you think. And what she sees is shaping her confidence → https://trainhergame.com/mom

Colleen was the mom on the sidelines with her hands in the air, head down, eyes rolling every time things went wrong for her daughter Lily on the court. 

She had no idea Lily was looking up at her over 100 times every single tournament weekend. And every one of those reactions was adding pressure to an athlete who was already drowning in it.

Lily was losing her love for volleyball. She dreaded practice. And nothing Colleen said at home was helping.

So Colleen made a decision to change what she was bringing to those sidelines. She learned when to speak and when to stay quiet. She asked Lily what she actually needed instead of assuming. And she started showing up differently.

Two weeks later, Lily was smiling at practice again. Her husband noticed without being told. And by the end of the season, Lily's coaches voted her team captain.

This is their story.

What You'll Learn:
✅ How your sideline reactions are affecting your daughter's performance without you realizing it
✅ Why you might be saying the right things at the wrong times
✅ The one question that completely changed how Lily communicates with her mom
✅ What it looks like when a struggling athlete starts to find herself again
