When Janik Sinner won Wimbledon, everyone jumped to congratulate him, but Ivan Ljubicic took it a step further! The former world No. 3, now a coach and sports director of the French tennis team, doesn’t hold back. His message to parents of young athletes is clear and sharp: “Let them be!” While Sinner was dazzling on the court, his father was working, and his mother sat outside the box. Ljubicic highlights how crucial early support is for developing champions, but also how important it is not to smother kids with too much control. This isn’t just a tennis story; it’s about how parents should behave if they want their kids to succeed in sports. Ljubicic has worked with legends like Federer and Raonic, so his words carry weight. If you’re a parent who thinks you need to be glued to your child all the time, maybe it’s time to rethink your approach. What do you think? Has too much parental control killed talent?
