How Do I Turn This Thing Around?

Welcome Have you or your teen athlete or performer ever been in a nasty, discouraging slump? We'll take your answer to be a YES even if we can't hear you. But trust us parents, we CAN hear you loud and clear. Slumps happen. It's no fun to watch your teen wallow in misery during a slump even when we know this is part of life, sports, and performing arts! Today's episode is all about SLUMP BUSTING (and possibly launching some preemptive strikes to avoid those pesky slumps!). We hope you enjoy what we're serving up today and as always, we appreciate you and thank you for listening!
