Talking to Family and Friends About the Pressure
Discipline 3: Communication — Lesson 9 of 12
Lecturer: Priya Ansell
Most people default to advice when you actually need listening. This session covers telling people close to you what kind of support actually helps, setting boundaries around match-day conversations, and thanking people even when their advice misses the mark.
The three rules
1. Tell people what support helps.
2. Set boundaries before kick-off.
3. Thank people even when advice misses.
