Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Matheny

Mike Matheny, author of The Dad Coach, reveals how parents and coaches can teach character through youth sports, handle competitive pressures, and create a positive athletic environment.Full Show NotesYouth sports can be a minefield for parents and kids alike. With intense competition and mounting pressure to excel, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters—the development of character traits that will set our teens up for lifelong success. So how do parents, coaches, and mentors ensure their teen athletes reap the full benefits of sports without becoming overwhelmed?This week, Mike Matheny joins us to share clear, impactful wisdom on harnessing youth sports as a tool for shaping teens into better people. Mike is a former MLB catcher, a four-time MLB gold glove winner, and has managed both the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals. Mike is also a New York Times bestselling author known for his acclaimed book The Matheny Manifesto and now returns with his latest work, The Dad Coach, a practical guide for parents and coaches of young athletes.In this episode, we're exploring Mike's powerful insights on cultivating character through sports, adopting the right competitive mindset, and creating practices that engage and inspire young athletes. Mike reveals how sports, approached thoughtfully, can significantly improve teens' confidence, resilience, work ethic, and interpersonal skills.Competitive Edges: Building Inner StrengthMike views sports as a rich training ground for building crucial character traits, which he identifies as "Competitive Edges." These include grit, discipline, growth mindset, optimism, selflessness, and composure under pressure. He explains these edges not only help kids become better athletes but prepare them to thrive in academics, careers, and relationships. Mike emphasizes that these traits are controllable factors anyone can develop, regardless of natural talent.We discuss how parents and coaches can intentionally incorporate these Competitive Edges into daily interactions with teens. Mike outlines how to talk with teens about handling setbacks, sustaining focus, and showing up consistently with a positive, selfless attitude. He argues the most transformative sports experiences aren't defined by trophies or titles, but by the internal growth that sustained effort naturally creates.Planning Impactful Youth PracticesMike deeply believes every practice should empower kids and reinforce positive values—not just drill technical skills. He shares practical tips for planning engaging practices, including how to structure sessions to maximize learning, fuel enthusiasm, and build fundamental skills. Mike argues youth practices should prioritize constant involvement, curiosity, and teamwork to keep players invested and excited about the game.He explains the importance of explicitly incorporating character lessons into each practice. By setting aside a small amount of time to discuss values like humility, perseverance, or empathy, coaches can drive home powerful lessons that resonate throughout players' lives. Mike strongly advocates for a clear, shared culture within every youth team, shaped by coaches, parents, and player input.Navigating Pressure from ParentsMany coaches and parent-volunteers face the tricky issue of intense parental pressure. Mike provides guidance on handling rising expectations, parental demands, and the so-called "hovering" parents whose behaviors can discourage athletes or affect team dynamics. He emphasizes open but upfront communication about roles and expectations to set healthy boundaries. Mike also talks us through practical strategies parents can use at home—like regular backyard games, casual conversations, and unconditional support—which make a huge, positive difference.Mike's thoughtful, practical advice will empower anyone involved in youth sports to make athletics a more rewarding, character-building experience for teens—and themselves!In the Episode:Mike offers invaluable guidance on transforming sports into a platform for growth and character development. We also discuss:How to help teens develop true passions, not just follow trendsThe balance between multi-sport play and focusing on a single sportKeys to handling internal team conflict and fostering cooperationA fresh approach to pre-game motivation that builds lasting confidenceMike's inspiration behind donating all proceeds from The Dad Coach to a unique sporting initiative in the Dominican RepublicTo learn more about Mike Matheny's inspiring coaching approach, pick up a copy of The Dad Coach wherever books are sold.

Send us a textToday, we welcome former MLB manager and four-time Gold Glove winner Mike Matheny, who takes us on a profound journey through fatherhood, coaching philosophy, and his remarkable life experiences that shaped both. Drawing from his 13-year playing career and years managing the Cardinals and Royals, Matheny shares wisdom that transcends the baseball diamond.Not only did he publish the amazing "Matheny Manifesto," but he has a new book out called "The Dad Coach," published by Crown Publishing Group, A Division of Penguin Random House! I got a copy and read it before it was recently released, and it is a book I wish I had had earlier when coaching my son in baseball.  Please pick up a copy if you're a youth coach!The conversation reveals Matheny's counterintuitive approach to youth sports: "The goal is not trying to get college scholarships. The goal is instilling character through sports to help kids become successful in anything they do." Remarkably, all five of his children earned college athletic opportunities despite this philosophy—or perhaps because of it. Matheny credits his own upbringing with parents who demonstrated consistent love and discipline while never pressuring him in sports, describing himself as having "won the lottery at birth."Particularly moving is Matheny's account of surviving a subarachnoid hemorrhage in 2022—a condition with only a 1-in-6 survival rate. "I had a renewed sense of urgency," he explains. "What are we doing to make the most out of it and how are we going to make an impact with the days that we have?" This perspective infuses his new book "The Dad Coach," which provides practical guidance for parents coaching youth sports, complete with 75 QR codes linking to resources from former players and practical drills.Beyond baseball strategy, Matheny offers transformative insights for parents navigating youth sports culture. His advice to let children drive their own athletic journeys while parents provide support without pressure resonates deeply in today's high-pressure youth sports environment. As we chase our own definition of success, Matheny reminds us that the most valuable trophy isn't made of metal—it's the character and resilience built through the journey.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

Bernie takes a look at how the Cardinals stack up to the rest of the competition in the NL Central. Bernie points out how the Brewers still are the top challenger, but the Cubs are not going to be a doormat this season. Bernie also lauds the Brewers for being able to get William Contreras on the cheap while the Cardinals had to open up the wallet for Willson. He then explains how the only way to get Bill DeWitt, Jr. to make changes is for him to feel the impact in the wallet as he points out how Mike Matheny's ouster was a direct result of dwindling fan support.

Bernie goes through and analyzes Craig Calcaterra's list of MLB's most handsome managers, culminating with former Cardinals outfielder Skip Schumaker at number 1. He then shifts to Mike Matheny as Bernie points out how he thinks Matheny would be an excellent fit at the college level, even if he wasn't receptive to the idea during his tenure with the Cardinals.

   Royals GM JJ Piccolo has fired manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Cal Eldred in what can only be described as one of the strangest "house cleanings" in Royals history.  It's not that we don't like Piccolo, but how can an owner hate the direction of the team but give more power to his GM?    In other sports, the MLB playoffs are set and should be better than ever this year with a new format.  Also, Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill opens up about how much money he's saving playing in Florida instead of New York where the Jets were trying to lure him.    The candidates for governor had their second and final debate and Derek Schmidt attacked Lockdown Laura Kelly relentlessly telling her she "failed" Kansas school kids during Covid 19 and asked her if we were all better under Biden.  Her answer to that question was all you need to know about her.    Ted Cruz and Lyndsay Graham sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas informing him that if he doesn't start enforcing our laws at the border, the Republicans will impeach him after they take over.   Kamala Harris was in a fender bender and a golf team in Texas had their practice cancelled when they arrived at the course and saw naked women.

We talk conclusion to the regular season, including Aaron Judge's 62nd home run, Roger Maris Jr.'s Twitter takes, Braves taking the division from the Mets, Phillies snagging the third wild card spot from the Brewers, Stephen Vogt's emotional final game, Luis Arraez and Jeff McNeil winning batting titles and Mike Matheny being fired as Royals manager before closing with a preview of the postseason and our bracket predictions.

For non playoff-bound teams like the Royals, the season ends on Wednesday. They'll get a jump on their team's big decisions, and for the Royals it starts with manager Mike Matheny. Will he be back next season or might he be fired? Already, six managers who started the season have either been replaced or have announced their departures. Two of them, the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays, are in the playoffs. Matheny will have completed three seasons with the Royals without a playoff run, and the person who hired him, Dayton Moore, is no longer with the club. On today's SportsBeat KC, beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnist Vahe Gregorian break down the future of Matheny and starting pitcher Zack Grienke, who appeared in his final game of the season on Monday and finished with a solid 3.68 ERA.

Oh, those base on balls. The line originated from Frankie Frisch, then manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates as he watched his pitcher pile up walks. Frisch later repeated it often as a broadcaster with the New York Giants. Royals manager Mike Matheny can relate. The Royals issued nine walks in their series opening loss at the San Francisco Giants on Monday, and bases on balls have been a problem all year for Royals starters and relievers. On today's SportsBeat KC podcast, Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam McDowell discuss how this problem has contributed to the Royals' owning baseball's worst record. On the positive side, the Royals have been taking better approaches at the plate and hitting numbers have improved. It coincides with the elevation of Alec Zumwalt as the team's hitting coach.

   The Royals win two of three this weekend over Colorado including their "best win of the year" according to Mike Matheny.  But Royals fans are mostly talking about whether a new downtown ballpark is a good idea.  We break down the sight inside the east loop and if voters even remotely have the stomach to hand over their money to a sports team in America today.    Kurt Busch gets his first win at Kansas Speedway but his 34th overall in a great career that is mostly overshadowed by his brother Kyle.  This was a flawless race for Kurt and I'll tell you why another driver wanted Kurt to win more than himself.    We've had three really high profile mass shootings in the past three weeks by men that couldn't be more different.  White, black, Asian... doesn't matter.  They all have one thing in common that never makes the headline.    And Anthony Fauci says he  has a retirement plan and I  think  he should be fired for saying it.  Seriously.
