The Ride Home messages are written to copy straight into a team email or app. Download all parent graphics (.zip) Copy and send to families **The Ride Home: Belonging** Dear \[Sport/Team Name\] Families, We are excited to share a key character and team culture concept we are emphasizing at practice, along with a few quick discussion prompts you can use on the ride home. Research indicates that car ride discussions offer a relaxed, low-pressure environment where athletes feel more comfortable opening up. This month, our focus is belonging, ensuring every athlete feels included and valued, regardless of her role on the team. Girls remain in sports longer when they feel strongly connected to their teammates. You can support this at home by asking your athlete: • Who did you include today, or did you notice anyone who might have felt left out? • What are some actions you could take to help a teammate feel included? Your engagement helps empower her to actively build a positive team culture, rather than just participate in one. Copy blurb Copy and send to families **The Ride Home: Kindness & Respect** Dear \[Sport/Team Name\] Families, This month our focus is on building mutual kindness and respect. When mutual kindness and respect are fostered and valued, sport is more enjoyable, girls feel better about themselves, are more kind to others, and are more likely to develop their social and emotional learning skills (which are important life skills as well!). Try some of these conversation starters on your ride home this month: • How did you make someone feel like they belonged today? • How do you show respect to your teammates when you disagree? • What does being a good teammate look like when someone makes a mistake? • How can you respond respectfully when you feel frustrated with a coach or teammate?
