Think your kid “just isn’t a shooter”? Think again.
In this episode of the Driveway Dads Podcast, Coach Carl Parker breaks down one of the biggest myths in youth sports: that talent is something you’re born with. From shooting form to ball-handling to confidence under pressure, skills aren’t gifted—they’re built, one rep at a time.
You’ll hear:
- Why labeling your child as “not a shooter” or “not confident” can hold them back
- The real story behind Steph Curry’s legendary shot (spoiler: it wasn’t natural)
- Practical ways parents can reframe “I can’t” into “I can’t yet”
- A simple framework to help your athlete build habits that actually stick
If you’re serious about helping your young athlete grow, this episode is for you.
