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.

Parent Engagement in Youth Sports

Apr 1, 2019

Without parents, youth sports will not exist. Today, there are few explicit development programs for parents. We forget that parents are developing right alongside our players and that they have needs themselves. They wonder how best to support their kids. They wonder what the coach is working on. They want to understand what is happening and what happens next. In this episode, I frame the problem and talk about some solutions.
