Winning is a big deal to kids – whether it's on the soccer field or racing their sibling to the car door. And with big competition comes big emotions. So how best to navigate when your child loses – or wins for that matter? Sam Weinman, author of “Win at Losing: How Our Biggest Setbacks Can Lead to Our Greatest Gains” joins Lynn and Justin with practical, healthy strategies for parents to help their little ones deal with competition. Tools that we can all use from the toddler years into adulthood. In our Parenting Story of the Day, we hear how Kelsey Demers, a mom of seven, uses family game night to teach her children bigger life lessons–resilience, critical thinking, and the value of spending real “facetime” around the family table.  You can also watch this podcast on YouTube and reach us at podcast@munchkin.com.  Sam Weinman / IG / FB / LinkedIn Author Sam Weinman was inspired to pen “Win at Losing: How Our Biggest Setbacks Can Lead to Our Greatest Gains,” because his two sons both struggled with losing. Wanting to show them that losing has real benefits, he started on a journey to talk to people—famous and otherwise—about how they handled a notable loss, and what they learned from it.  Weinman is the digital editorial director at Golf Digest and also covered golf and the NHL for The Journal News in Westchester, N.Y. He wrote for numerous publications including USA Today, Golf World, Yahoo! Sports, ESPN the Magazine, and Sports Illustrated.

LKD talks with Sam Weinman about his Low Net newsletter, and specifically an unglamorous concept DECADE founder Scott Fawcett calls Strokes Lost: Stupid.

You need to play with what you've got on any given day. Sometimes that'll be your best, but more often than not, something will be off. But continuing to make mistakes trying to make something happen that just isn't happening is one of the fastest ways to blow up your scores. In this episode, LKD and Sam Weinman tie together their three-part series on mindset tactics to help you play better with a thought on how to make the most of a round.

Rarely does one play a perfect round when everything goes according to plan. But limiting mistakes and getting back on track as quickly as possible is as much mental as it is physical. In this episode LKD and Sam Weinman frame how to think about turbulent times in your round and how to handle them.

RUNDOWN   Is 15-year-old Korn Ferry golfer Miles Russell comparable to Tiger Woods' son Charlie? How do we move from Brian Adams' music career to NFL draft week? "Everything we do, we do it for you." David Riley, newly appointed Washington State University's 20th head basketball coach, joins Mitch to discuss his new leadership role. The humble, hall-of-famer shares insightful plans for the WSU basketball program, his coaching legacy, and his strategy moving forward as he takes over the Cougars' program after a terrific season ending in the NCAA Tournament's second round. Mitch Levy, Joe Doyle, and Jason Churchill discuss the Seattle Mariners' recent 5-1 stretch against the Reds and Rockies. They ponder the possibility of the Mariners moving to the National League to improve their playoff chances. Mariners walks spike, and tech takes a backseat; the pitchers show muscle, but relief continues to wobble. Sam Weinman, the digital editorial director and author of Golf Digest, finally had his name drawn in the media lottery at The Masters after nearly 15 years of entries, allowing him the rare chance to play Augusta National. Overwhelmed by the support from colleagues and friends, he faced the challenge of not having his own clubs and borrowing a set. In the Other Stuff Segment, Hotshot Scott and Mitch discuss serious topics, such as the incident where the Jaguars general manager allegedly passed gas during a news conference. Of course, you can't talk about sports without mentioning Caitlin Clark, Jim Harbaugh, Blake Griffin, Dickie Betts and more!   GUESTS   • David Riley | Washington State University [NEW] Basketball Coach • Mariners No-Table | Mitch, Jason & Joe breakdown the terrific week for the M's • Sam Weinman | Digital Director of Golf Digest.com   TABLE OF CONTENTS   2:22 | Is 15-year-old Korn Ferry golfer Miles Russell comparable to Tiger Woods' son, Charlie? 13:15 | From Brian Adams to the NFL draft...a graceful transition!  17:40 | Happy NFL Draft Week!  38:00 | GUEST: David Riley, the new Washington State University basketball coach, takes over the Cougars' program after their terrific season, which ended in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. 57:31 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table: Mitch, Jason & Joe break down the terrific week for the M's. 5 up and 1 down against the NL Reds & Rockies.

In the second installment of our limited-run podcast series on Netflix's Full Swing, hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers discuss a much-improved second episode that focuses on Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler. We discuss the portrayal of Koepka as a one-time dominant force now in the throes of a prolonged slump; how it contrasts to Scheffler, an amiable up-and-coming star who catapulted up the world ranking last year and won his first major at the Masters; and how the filmmakers appeared to have righted the ship after a sluggish start.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

The next installment of our limited-run podcast series recapping Netflix's Full Swing reflects on the value of personality, and how the show's third episode featuring Ian Poulter stood apart from the previous two for that reason. Whereas earlier episodes had bigger names in Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka, hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers argue that devoting an entire episode to the charismatic Poulter was a smart decision. We break down Poulter's struggle to remain relevant, and why his decision to join LIV Golf was at least given the necessary context. We also discuss the show's unique structure, one in which producers opted against a straight chronology in favor of jumping around to different points of the season.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

Hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers haven't agreed on everything about Netflix's new golf show, Full Swing, but they agree that the show's fourth episode on journeyman Joel Dahmen was the best yet. In our limited-run podcast series recapping every episode, we explain why Dahmen's incredible journey through professional golf and his relatable demeanor made for compelling television. Among the favorite parts discussed in detail: Dahmen relaying the crushing loss of his mother to cancer, his own cancer scare, his bond with his caddie Geno Bonnalie, and his unlikely run to a career-best finish in the U.S. Open. This was our favorite episode, and as such, we loved diving into every part of it.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

The fifth installment of our limited-run podcast series recapping Full Swing, the new Netflix show, tackles the Matt Fitzpatrick and Dustin Johnson episode. Hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers note that just like with Brooks Koepka and Scottie Scheffler in Episode 2, the show's producers opted to emphasize a contrast. Here it was between the overachieving Fitzpatrick and the naturally gifted Johnson, with a little bit of LIV Golf tension mixed in as well. While neither personality was as engaging as Joel Dahmen or Ian Poulter, we agreed this was still a well-crafted episode, and had the added benefit of following Fitzpatrick through the closing stages of his triumph at the U.S. Open at the Country Club.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

After a triumphant run of episodes in the new Netflix golf series, Full Swing, our podcast recapping the show was more critical of a sixth installment focusing on Tony Finau and Collin Morikawa. As hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers say, there is much to like about the Tony Finau portion, which captures Finau's compelling and unique backstory, and provides new insight into the balance he strikes between his career and his large family. Where we struggled was with the depiction of Morikawa, who appears to be shoehorned into the role of a soulless, humorless tour pro. Was this a byproduct of Morikawa giving less access? Did the storyline of two pros of diverse backgrounds who were inspired by Tiger Woods work, or was it too forced? We break it all down in our analysis.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

As the Netflix series on golf, Full Swing, approaches the end, our podcast recapping the show can't help but judge the seventh episode through the prism of missed opportunities. Were rookies Sahith Theegala and Mito Pereira compelling enough to carry an entire show? Was either one of the biggest storylines of 2022? Although there were elements of the seventh episode—Theegala's father being one, Pereira's all-time collapse at the PGA being another—hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers agree this episode was similar to the first episode in its overreliance on a contrived storyline.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

The final episode of Netflix's new golf series, Full Swing, and of our limited-run podcast recapping the show, is all about the star power of Rory McIlroy. As hosts Shane Ryan, Sam Weinman, and Alex Myers discuss, the producers were right to focus the entire last episode on the four-time major champion given the prominent role he played in golf in 2022, as well as his willingness to share parts of himself audiences had never seen before.  We discuss some of the bright spots of an eventful final episode, as well as where we felt this show missed the mark. We also took time to assess the series as a whole, and even brought in our special guest novice golf fan to help us determine whether the show worked for audiences who maybe didn't have the same foundation of knowledge.Check out Shane's recap of the episode here.

For the first time in the sport's history, the defining moments of the professional golf season took place somewhere other than on a golf course. The ongoing battle between the PGA Tour and the fledgling LIV Golf circuit instead took place in private backchannels, on social media, and even in the legal sphere. But as much oxygen as it took up in 2022, it was hardly the only event that mattered to golfers and golf fans. In this year-end episode of Local Knowledge, Keely Levins, Alex Myers, Shane Ryan, and Sam Weinman discuss what resonated with them most in a wild 2022, from the high-profile dramatic episodes to moments of personal poignance. 

An 18-hole experiment with our 11-handicap editor and PGA Tour veteran Joel Dahmen began with a simple question: How much easier would golf be if a tour player hit all your drives for you? In this week's Local Knowledge, Sam Weinman takes you behind the scenes of a memorable round in which he and Dahmen teed off for one another and then played their own balls from there.You can also read the story and watch the video on the round here.

For most golfers out there, the scores we shoot have little tangible significance. We maintain a handicap, maybe play for a few bucks, but otherwise, no one really cares but us. And yet for many golfers, the difference between 80 and 79 is a landmark milestone. On this week's episode, Sam Weinman and Shane Ryan discuss their respective quests to break 80. They consult with pros, sports psychologists, and some of the golfers they play with, to understand what's been holding them back, what they need to make it happen, and what it will signify to them if it does.
