このコンテンツについて
When elite athletes step off the field and into youth coaching, they bring more than just experience—they bring perspective. In this episode, we explore what three former professional athletes learned when they started coaching young athletes, and why it changed how they viewed sports altogether.
We discuss takeaways from a recent article in The Athletic featuring NFL quarterbacks Drew Stanton and Matt Hasselbeck, and MLB outfielder Travis Snider, as they reflect on their shift from pro-level pressure to coaching kids through confidence, connection, and character.
This episode dives into:
- Why kids today are harder on themselves than ever before
- The dangers of over-coaching, comparison, and performance obsession
- How to develop your identity and values as a coach
- Why emotional intelligence, failure, and community-building matter more than talent
- What parents may unintentionally project onto their kids—and how to do better
Whether you're a coach, parent, or athlete, this episode is a powerful reminder of what youth sports are really about—and how to keep kids in the game long enough to fall in love with it.
