In this episode of the Sports Entrepreneur, Casey discusses parenting and coaching tips with Janis Meredith. Janis is a family coach who focuses on helping parents (and especially sports parents) raise children who are champions in life and in the game. She provides personal coaching, has written 8 books, and is passionate about helping families thrive. Key Takeaways: 1. As a sports parent, remember what it's all about – your kids, learning and growing, and who they become in the process. It's not about your ego as a parent. It's a long-term goal, not a short-term one. 2. Once they get to a certain age, let your child speak for themselves and fight their own battles. It prepares them better for the future, in sports and in life. 3. It's ok to ask for help – it's not an indication of how you are as a parent – so let the ego go. It indicates you want to get better at what you do. Bonus takeaways: 1. In coaches, look for people who inspire the kids to be better humans and help them to become better leaders – not just better athletes. 2. We all have things to give. There is nothing in your life that needs to be wasted.

  What does it take to be a winning youth coach? Listen in as Stacie Mahoe shares stories and discusses her journey to becoming a successful youth sports coach. Stacie Mahoe has been involved in the game of fastpitch softball since the age of 9 and is the Founded AllAboutFastpitch.com in 2004. Stacie also served as the Chief Marketing Officer at SoftballPerformance.com for a few years. Her perspectives on the game as a former player, current coach, and current softball parent provide unique insight on various softball issues. While physical ability and athleticism are necessary to play the game, Stacie believes that the right mindset and attitude separate the good from the great and also help you succeed, not only on the diamond, but in life as well. While Stacie enjoys helping players improve their overall fitness and softball skill, far more rewarding is the opportunity to help young ladies become champions in life .

Consistency - you have to consistently enforce things. HUGE IDEA #2: Individual punishment vs. team punishment - If it's something the team can help an individual with - i.e. coming back late from a water break - if no one on the team is encouraging/yelling at a player who is running late - then the whole team can do the punishment Celebrate a lot!  Kids will work harder when they are having fun! Connecting with Kids Sometimes the toughest players - just want to be listened to - and if you listen to them and value their input they become much more connected and valuable teammates Winning Help the players learn, develop, grow - the winning will take care of itself. The winning is not the top priority as a coach - developing the kids is the top priority. The One that Got Away As a player - Stacie had a game where she felt like she could have played better - she didn't like that feeling so it motivated her to prepare that much harder so it wouldn't happen again Best Stolen idea Stacie learned from her father what being a great coach looked like - he was very organized and very prepared Coaching/Leadership Quote or Book Quote - 'Leadership is action not position', and 'True leadership is serving the people you are leading'  It's not about being the boss.
