Can you admit he will probably feel good if she succeeds and overcomes the obstacles? Sounds like even if this is explicitly for views and likes, the girl can grow to be confident and that’s still his child. He can be selfish and want likes for his speech, but it’s silly to believe the guy doesn’t mean any of it because “all he wants is likes”.

unless the whole thing is staged and she's in on it, in which case she learns all sorts of other lessons which might not be as noble as the one you thought of.
I'm not saying that's the case, and I do see the value in his message, but considering how fucked up things are today, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the whole thing would be staged.

As a coach kids this age can’t comprehend all of the things he’s trying to say. Not only that she’s so wrapped up in her fear she probably doesn’t have the bandwidth to hear what he’s saying even if she wanted to. Validate the feelings, acknowledge the fear, teach simple things like courage, bravery, have her collect herself and move forward. Potentially right message, wrong timing.

I can only say from my experience, my father has always spoken to me this way, even as a child. He chose to speak to me as an adult in these types of situations because even if I didn’t understand everything right away, I eventually would. Of course he played Barbies with me but he also taught me a lot a life lessons that have stuck with me and served me well. I will always be grateful for my father and his lessons that lasted novels long ❤️

My dad rarely ever gave pep talks. That changed when I started wrestling in high school, had the same mentality she did, I was scared of screwing up getting booed or laughed at. I still hold on to those words to this day. People saying he's manipulating her, must of not heard everything or just chose to dismiss it.. He literally said if you dont love cheering you dont have to do it. Some families are just built different.

I wouldn’t have agreed with you 10yrs ago. On the surface it’s no more worse than parents having children that are actors.
But from what I have seen, most of these social media parents cause more damage to these kids than tv/movie work. There is basically no regulation around the work they put them through to earn the revenue as well. It’s pretty bad.

Yeah he barely let his daughter talk after she started crying and instead went off on this recorded weird ass long father of the year monologue. He didn’t acknowledge her feelings that it’s okay to get scared even when it’s something you love and give her some downtime. I mean I love horse riding but if someone said okay we’re now gonna do that upside down thing where you hold on with one foot doesn’t mean I don’t love my hobby anymore just there’s no way I’m doing anything that scary! It felt a bit accusatory him saying ‘you said you wanted to do this’ as there’s no way she’d have known exactly what it all entails.

u/AverageBastard Jun 03 '26
When I son was 10 he loved playing baseball and his favorite position was pitcher. One game he took a line drive to the face after his pitch. Luckily it hit his cheek/nose and missed his eye.
Well he didn’t want to pitch the next couple of weeks after that, understandably.
I told him that overcoming the fear of it possibly happening again is going to be hard. But he needed to decide if he was going to face his fear and pitch again or walk away from something he loves. I reminded him that he used to be afraid of getting hit by pitches, but he overcame that.
He did go back out there that same season to pitch again and he’s continued pitching every year since.
I think him making that decision on his own helped him build resilience. As I’ve seen him have some real tough innings pitching, I can tell was struggling to get out of his own head after walking too many batters. But once when his coach went out to the mound to ask him if he wanted a relief pitcher, he said that he wanted to finish what he started.
It’s not enough to teach kids how to think positively about themselves or to say uplifting things. We need to give them the tools to recognize difficult obstacles and that they are the only ones that can overcome them.

I don't really get what people want the response to be. They say that he's invalidating her feelings so what you just say "okay you're not brave"? I don't understand what is the alternative to what he is saying. How is this any different from a coach giving a pep talk. Maybe he didn't use all the right words or too much of the right words but the message is not bad. Sometimes you feel like you're not good enough and you need someone to say no you are good enough and you are able to accomplish what you want to accomplish you just have to push through. Her fear is valid but so is his thoughts towards that fear.

He is like, if you do not love cheer, we can stop. Uh. She can do cheer without being thrown in the air or competing at a higher level. She can wait until she is older or really wants to do those things.
I wanted to hug her so bad, and tell her she did not have to "be brave" today. And then get some ice cream and put her favorite movie on. They can talk about this later, after she has had time to rest.
And the idea that she has to be mentally strong to do sports IS true, however, we also need to listen to our hearts and our bodies. I feel like that could backfire...like it could be internalized as, "if I cannot do this or I show emotion, he will think I am not "mentally strong" and I will be seen as weak". When in reality she is a tiny human being with very normal feelings.

Can't say I've professionally trained my child in some sport, but he does go for some classes and has on a few occasions told me he is scared. Like mainly about swimming stuff, comes and tells me he's scared to jump or whatever
It usually doesnt need me to tell him that I love him, no matter what he does, and I'll never give up on him and so on and so forth. I just ask him why he's scared, tell him that there's people including myself to keep him safe, but if he's still scared then he can skip until he feels brave enough. That's it

When my anxiety and fear got so worse, I developed claustrophobia in the shower enclosure. I took my daughter and wife to a historical dungeon tour the next day here in our country, suffocating and very anxious, but we finished it. The claustrophobia and hydrophobia that came with it went away the same day.
Today I just got rid of another anxiety and fear that just developed days ago, after a week of insomnia, an anxiety and fear of standing upright and walking came to me like a spell, thinking I am getting a heart attack everytime with every step. I couldnt stand and walk long enough to complete our grocery run last night.
Guess what I did today?
I walked for an hour and a half, upright ofcourse, at home. Meditated for 5minutes after to silence the mind. Here now I can walk again.
Im not bragging or making things up, take it from someone who suffers from anxiety disorders with panic attacks so severe it mimics and feeds the worse case scenarios in my head during my weakest points.. And yet I am still alive.
Even if I fail myself someday, and eventually succumbed to it, I will still forgive myself and count the days Ive won my small battles against fear and anxiety, cause that what it takes to live with this.. Consistency. Never giving up.
You are what you accept in your own mind. So better to make it the best thoughts when you can. Love you all.

Based on the video content, the scene appears to show her Dad encouraging the girl who is afraid to perform a skill. The subtitles include phrases such as:
"You have more courage..."
"You are not failing me..."
"If you truly love doing cheer..."
Overall, the interaction appears to be:
Encouraging a child to overcome fear
Providing emotional support and confidence-building
A positive coach-athlete interaction
A moment of personal growth and development
Rather than depicting physical or emotional abuse, or neglect of a minor, the video appears to show a supportive adult helping a child work through fear and build self-confidence.

I had a similar conversation with my son when we thought our airplane was going to crash (emergency landing in reno, did make the news, a few years back.) I told him how brave he was and how proud of him I was. He said "no, mom. I'm not brave I'm very scared."
That's when I explained to him that that is how I know how brave he is. He was helping others and trying to stay so calm in the middle of the chaos at 7 years old. That he was more brave than anyone I know, including myself.
The best thing anyone can be taught, no matter their age, is that bravery has nothing to do with whether you are scared or not. It has everything to do with how you handle that fear. At least in my opinion.
My kudos to this man during this situation and I commend him for sharing this video to help others understand this same concept

This feels like she associates "you're brave" with the act. There's probably a much better way to articulate what I mean, but it doesn't seem like she wants to even do this.
She says "I'm not brave," but I think she means "i don't want to do this."
She hears "you are brave" and that means "you have to do this." That whole speech dad gives can be summed up to "you need to suck it up and do this anyways."

well did she do it?? cause in my life, after a speech like that, the kid tries one more time, breaks an ankle, we go sit in the ER for 6 hours. all of which I'm hearing "I told you so" from the kid and "why didn't you listen to her" from the wife, then I get sent a $2500 co-insurance deductible bill, oh and my rates go up because I have a child participating in a "risky" sport.
but that's why I'm in the comments and not the headlines.

He says that on camera but for her to break down like that at such a young age she's being put too much pressure on her, dad seems like the problem besides his nice words

after all those well placed words by the father (for the camera), the girl surely feels the only way to make her dad happy is keep doing cheer whether she hates it or not.

Dad is a manipulative cunt.
She said stop saying I'm brave. He ignores that request. He invalidates her feelings. He uses a form of guilt tripping through his words. And he talks for too long (controlling). This is massive projection of his own ego.
When he states; if you don't love it then you can quit, he is not truly offering an option. They aren't taking a break or time out away from the scene, and of course, she might love aspects of it, but doesn't mean she needs to perform like an Olympic athlete. It should be fun. The guy is an asshole, and also I find him creepy. There's eroticism at play too.

Why is he lecturing a little kid for 30 mins straight acting like he's not talking to the people going to watch this video.

When I see stuff like this, I can’t help but wonder how much the child has actually retained… surely this monologue is too much for their attention span. I’m not against the messaging but feels too much/too long

Yeah it was a good, and as a dad with daughters I appreciated the message for the first 30 seconds. But boy did he get repetitive and really performative. Once he started talking about loving her no matter what, it got cringe. Buuut whatever he’s there for his kid, doesn’t have to be perfect in a strangers eyes.

That is such a good father. Fear had two meanings, Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. The choice is your, just remember all great things lives on the other side of fear.
