'Don't be a helicopter parent': Annika Sorenstam's tips for your kid's sports experience

Annika Sorenstam says she was afraid to speak in front of a crowd at junior golf tournaments.

The LPGA Tour golfer says she learned from her parents and sports that she has continued to apply.

She says you don't want to be a helicopter parent: "You're so invested and you're so engaged and you just want them to succeed".

Golf's Annika Sorenstam says she's a big believer in understanding the fundamentals of the sport early on.

Will and his sister tried just about every other sport before he settled on golf.

"I was the mean mom; I didn't give him a chance to play football," Annika says.

Sorenstam says she's not trying to create the next superstar but use golf, or whichever sport they choose, to help unlock things like dedication, curiosity, competitiveness.

"The goal is to make great individuals that represent the sport, and not so much just result and performance," she says.
