As we discuss the role or parents with Mental Performance Consultant, Rob Pallante we learn parents have the most important role of a ll.

https://www.mindsetbodybank.comNo only in life but in sports do parents guide, shape and teach our children how to behave, how to be coached, how to be resilient, how to set phone habits, how to be driven.
