Episode 29: When a Child’s Worth Is More Than Performance

Long is a tennis coach with thirty-five years on the court. His daughter had genuine talent — the kind you cannot teach. And she plays volleyball. This episode is about the decision behind that, and the fork in the road that most parents don't realise they are standing at. About the difference between a child's dream and a parent's. About what performance tennis actually costs, and what it asks emotionally — the part almost nobody counts. And about one question Long would put to any parent on this path: whose dream is this, and what would happen if my child stopped performing tomorrow?
