  • Wish i had know about this sooner

    This podcast is a great tool for parents trying to navigate youth sports and best support their kids. These guys have a passion for helping and it so beneficial to hear both a ‘been there’ and ‘going through it’ perspective. I really wish i had heard what they had to say about 10 years ago, it would made thing a bit easier than learning it the hard way. Thanks Brad, Britt & Jeff - keep up the great work!

  • Wealth of knowledge

    We absolutely love this podcast. It is a wealth of knowledge for parents raising youth athletes. In fact… many of the episodes we have our 10th grade baseball player listen to. This podcast is very grounding + insightful into what it takes to go all the way + to stay balanced in body, mind + spirit in who you are on the journey.
