The Real Stat Sheet: Tracking What Matters Beyond the Scoreboard
A Workbook for Sports Parents and Young Athletes, Ages 11–18
Every young athlete has two stat sheets. One shows up in the box score. The other one, the real one, shows up in how they treat teammates, how they bounce back from a bad game, and what happens in the car on the way home.
This workbook is built for parents and athletes to do together. Each chapter opens with a true story from Coach J’s life as an athlete, coach, and dad, then gives you questions, activities, and tools you can use the very next game.
What’s Inside
Pre-Game
Take stock of where your family stands right now, before the season gets loud.
1st Quarter: Core Values & Strengths
Name what you stand for, and the strengths you bring that never show up in the box score.
2nd Quarter: Healthy Community Circles
Figure out who’s really in your corner, and how to let them help.
3rd Quarter: Goal Plan for Success
A goal without a plan is just a wish. Build the plan, step by step.
4th Quarter: Win the Ride Home
Mental toughness for athletes, and a game plan for parents for the hardest 20 minutes of youth sports: the ride home.
Beyond the Buzzer
A Mental Health Toolkit, Muting the Crowd (tuning out outside noise and social media), your own Real Stat Sheet, a letter from Coach J, and a Post-Game Pledge to sign together.
