Question: “What episodes of #RaisingAthletes podcast would you recommend listening to in the car with my t(w)een? I would love for (him/her/them) to hear your insight.”
Answer: I recommend listening to our “Talking to the Student Athlete Series” !
I often get this question. And, what better way to empower your kids than to have them listen to the student athletes that have been in their shoes? As a bonus, you get to hear me connect with these athletes and reframe our conversation as tools for our larger audience. I think there’s a reason these have been some of our most popular episodes!
So, get in the car and listen to these fun episodes. Summer road trip anyone??? 🚙

I spoke with the author of this article, Linda Flanagan, a couple weeks ago. She wrote a book similar to mine (Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports--and Why It Matters). Agree 100% with what she’s saying - too much pressure is just too much too soon. Worth a read!
