Tips for communicating with your athlete
https://appliedsportpsych.org/resources/resources-for-parents/eight-
tips-for-communicating-with-adolescent-athletes-immediately-after-
the-game-win-or-loss/

     can confuse him or her as to what he or she should do and
     ultimately may hurt performance. Also, you are undermining
     team chemistry and negatively affecting each person
     involved with that team.
