Should You Put Your Kid on the Best Team or the Easiest Team? | Psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti Answers

Greg Olsen sits down with Harvard and Stanford-trained psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti to talk about the mental side of youth sports — how failure shapes kids' brains, why pre-game anxiety isn't always a bad thing, how to pick the right team for your child, and what parents and coaches get wrong about confidence, identity, and self-talk. Dr. Conti breaks down the science behind the shame reflex, explains why what you see on the outside of a kid isn't always what's happening on the inside, and shares the reframe that turns post-game frustration into forward momentum. Greg gets personal about his own parenting blind spots and the habits he's rethinking at home with his three kids. 🔗 RESOURCES 📖 Dr. Conti's book "What's Going Right" — https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-Ri... 🌐 Dr. Conti's website — https://drpaulconti.com 🏥 Pacific Premier Group — https://pacificpremiergroup.com Our newsletter: https://www.youth.inc/newsletter
