Raising Happy Athletes - The Parent's Playbook with Asia Mape

PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith

On today's PerformHappy podcast, we're diving deep into the world of sport parenting with a truly special guest, Asia Mape. Asia is a four-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and sports TV producer who has worked for all the major sports networks, covering some of the biggest events, including five Olympics and NBA profiles. But the reason she's here today goes beyond her impressive career—she’s also the mother of three daughters who all love sports, and she’s the founder of I Love to Watch You Play.
Asia’s passion is helping parents stop unintentionally harming their children’s sports experience. In this episode, we discuss how to handle toxic sport parents, how to avoid becoming one, and what your kids really want from you as their biggest supporter. Most importantly, Asia shares her insights on how to raise happy, healthy, and successful young athletes.
