Significantly increase the odds of an awesome relationship dynamic by clarifying the vision and ground rules for the athlete / parent-guardian-supporter.

OVERVIEW

1. Coach Wade introduces a third vision exercise that has athletes and their parent/guardian/supporter collaborate by talking (and optionally writing or recording) about who they want to be for each other in the sports journey.
2. He emphasizes this is not a list of demands, but a permission-based conversation about hopes, communication preferences, boundaries, and what support should look like in specific situations (such as after losses or during matches).
3. The relationship vision should evolve over time, with regular check-ins to adjust as the athlete’s needs change and to avoid condescension or “pulling rank.”
4. The goal is to build trust so both parties feel heard and can face challenges together—seeing the challenge as the problem rather than each other—while enjoying and celebrating the athlete’s journey and the supporter’s contribution.
