I Wish My Parents Taught me About…My Kid’s Travel Sports

Welcome to travel sports, where a “quick weekend tournament” somehow requires a hotel room, a folding wagon, twelve snacks, three weather apps, and half your paycheck.

I Wish My Parents Taught Me About… My Kid’s Travel Sports is a practical, funny guide for parents entering the world of weekend tournaments, out-of-town games, team hotels, packed schedules, and everything that happens between leaving the driveway and finally getting back home.

Inside, you’ll find straightforward advice on tryouts, playing time, schedules, tournament weather, team group chats, hotels, packing, food on the road, sideline behavior, budgeting, and helping your kid enjoy the experience without letting travel sports take over the entire family.

Mom, Dad, Chad, and Anthony are along for the ride with lessons learned, questionable tournament wisdom, and the kind of advice parents usually figure out after they’ve already forgotten the sunscreen.

No coaching manual. No sports-parent lecture. Just useful advice for surviving travel sports while keeping the experience fun for your kid and manageable for your family.

Funny enough to buy. Useful enough to recommend.

Your parents taught you plenty. They just didn’t cover this one.
