Travel sports can create incredible memories—and completely take over your calendar, vehicle, budget, group chats, and weekends.

I Wish My Parents Taught Me About… My Kid’s Travel Sports is a funny, practical guide for parents entering the world of tournaments, road trips, team drama, hotel stays, unpredictable schedules, and very expensive concession-stand food.

This guide applies to travel sports of all kinds and covers:

• Choosing the right team and understanding the real costs

• Tryouts, cuts, playing time, and parent expectations

• Tournament schedules, weather, hotels, food, and packing

• Group chats, sideline behavior, and communicating with coaches

• Pressure, rankings, social media, burnout, and overuse

• Helping your child grow while keeping the experience positive

• A tournament-weekend cheat sheet you can screenshot and use

Whether your family is considering travel sports or already living out of the back of the car every weekend, this guide will help you feel more prepared, spend a few moments, and remember what the whole experience is supposed to be about.

Funny enough to buy. Useful enough to recommend.
