But none of it happens without you.In this final episode, we honour the role parents play in supporting young athletes — the unseen effort, the emotional load, the decisions, the patience, and the countless small moments that shape a child’s experience in sport.If you’ve ever doubted whether you’re doing enough or getting it right, this episode will ground you, lift you, and remind you exactly why your presence matters. A powerful finish to an incredible first season.
