Absolutely amazing concepts on how to approach parenting kids in sports. I learn something new every episode on how to be more intentional with my actions and words with my daughters.
This podcast is fantastic and it has quickly become one of my and my husband’s favorites. We both work in sports & have been super hesitant to sign our 5yr old up for anything because youth sports is just insane. So many of these topics and issues that are covered here ring true for us. It’s so nice to know we aren’t the only ones asking why we can’t just have t-shirts and rec leagues.
This podcast is an oasis for parents who are trying to navigate the pressures of competitive youth sports while nurturing their children to become great people. Thank you for this amazing resource and for all that you do!
I am blown away with how amazing this entire podcast is. As a former college athlete and survivor of crazy youth sport parents, I thought I was doing a good job of being the opposite, but this show continues to educate and raise the bar of how we can all be better. If you truly listen to this with an open mind, an open heart, and a proverbial mirror to look into, it is life changing and your kids will thank you. Just like there are mandatory coaching videos on safe sport, concussions, etc., I th... more
I’m a relatively new listener of the show but with two sons in youth sports I’ve really been enjoying it! The head injury episode - wow. Was a really informative but engaging listen. Definitely recommend to any parent of young athletes!

This show centers on helping families navigate youth sports with a focus on development, well-being, and lifelong love of the game rather than only winning. Across episodes, listeners hear from coaches, athletes, psychologists, policymakers, and former players who share practical guidance on multi-sport participation, avoiding early specialization, injury prevention, and nurturing resilience and healthy mindsets. A recurring thread is making sports a positive, inclusive experience for kids and families, with emphasis on parental conduct, team culture, and policies that expand access and reduce unnecessary pressure. A notable strength is its mix of actionable tips, real-world stories, and voices that bridge sport, psychology, and policy, mak... more
