This podcast is about bringing parents, players, and coaches together around the most important aspects of the youth sports experience. You have thousands of teachable moments in the context of a 15-year window where kids are most open to learning and development - physically, mentally, tactically, emotionally, psychosocially, and in terms of core character. 

The goal of this podcast is to boost our enjoyment of the game and of the gift we have in our children. We hope to help parents, players, and coaches to make the most of the time we have with our kids, and to launch them into the world of adulthood with a solid toolbox of life skills.

#28 Empowering Our Kids To Succeed

May 14, 2018

Success in youth sports is as much about letting go and empowering kids as it is about applying the rules of the game. Parents and coaches can sometimes take away from kid's development unintentionally with advice, criticism, and cross-talking over one another. In this episode, we deep dive into how we empower our kids by manipulating their environment and giving them space vs pushing them in directions that are not natural for them.
