Talk with your child about how he feels and what he wants to do. Listen to him without judgement.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Take a break<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>Encourage your athlete to rest from organized sports 1-2 days per week. Allow longer breaks from training and competition every few months. &nbsp;Even in between seasons, if possible. Use the break to focus on other activities. <strong>Keep expectations realistic.<\/strong> Don\u2019t expect too much from your child. Make sure you know his goals and try to help him achieve those goals without pushing him. <strong>Recognize what your child can handle<\/strong>. Every kid is unique and you need to know how much your child can handle physically. Help him learn to prioritize what he should and can do, and then help him find a balance between school, extra-curricular activities, and free time. <strong>Downplay the importance of outcome<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>We all want to win. But the more you emphasize sportsmanship, hard work, and small victories, the less pressure your athlete will feel to perform to perfection. <strong>Don\u2019t push for specialization.<\/strong> Many athletes played more than one sport in junior high and even high school. Tennis great Roger Federer and pro basketball player LeBron James didn\u2019t specialize until high school. Encourage your child to play more than one sport as long as they want to. Not only will it help keep them from getting burned out in one sport, cross-training can improve their athletic performance. <strong>Don\u2019t let your child over-practice.<\/strong> Practice makes perfect, but is there such a thing as over-practice? In youth sports, I think there is. Parents and coaches need to discern when enough is enough and stop pushing kids so vehemently to excel. There\u2019s a balance here between challenging them to be better and pushing them beyond reason. <strong>Have a life outside of youth sports<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>Encourage your child to have interests that have nothing to do with sports. Let them know it\u2019s okay to take a pause from their favorite activity and even be lazy every now and then. Youth sports is not really the cause of your child\u2019s stress. What we have turned it into is. Coaches and parents can help athletes avoid feeling too much stress by promoting fun, skill development, and balance for each athlete.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Do you have other ideas on how to help kids avoid stress from sports?
