So you have a daughter competing in the Olympics tonight, like Jody Flatt does, what do you do to help her from cracking under the pressure of tens of millions of eyeballs watching her every lutz jump?
In between competitions I’ve been able to spend time with Olympic moms as they’ve dined or just hung out watching Team USA compete. They have some great advice to share with the parents of aspiring Olympic athletes and just any competitive sports kids.
I’ve heard about the fun subculture of pin trading at Disney World. But, now that I’m at perhaps one of the greatest global get-togethers, the Olympic Winter Games, it makes sense that pin trading is the language visitors use to meet others from around the world and have fun.
