Podcasts about Youth sports

In this candid and often hilarious episode, we unpack the rollercoaster of modern parenting—from the pressures of youth sports and living vicariously through our kids, to the deeper questions of legacy, masculinity, and whether parenthood truly lives up to its promise. We reflect on how fast life shifts, both in the spotlight and at home. With humor and heart, we explore generational shifts, family dynamics, codependency, and the strange satisfaction of hearing your kids finally echo the advice they once rolled their eyes at.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:04) - Parenting & Youth Sports Culture(0:15:51) - Navigating Parental Expectations in Youth Sports(0:18:38) - Navigating Parenting and Personal Responsibilities(0:34:00) - Navigating Parental Legacy and Responsibility(0:42:32) - Navigating Parental Advice and Expectations(0:49:56) - Navigating Masculinity and ResponsibilitiesSend us a textFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Youth sports have evolved from casual neighborhood games to a multi-billion-dollar industry where kids are often treated as commodities. In this episode, Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski, authors of Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Navigating Youth Sports, delve into how today's sports culture is pressuring kids to perform rather than enjoy play. They reflect on the rise of elite programs, the loss of amateurism, and the overwhelming influence of money on what was once a simple, joyful part of childhood. With raw honesty, they discuss the impact of this commercialization on kids' mental health, relationships, and desire to continue participating in sports. As parents, we are often caught in a cycle of pushing our kids to be the best, sometimes at the expense of their happiness and self-worth. Brian and Ed share the “silent killer” of kids' love for sports— the dreaded car ride home after the game, where criticism often replaces celebration. They discuss why it's crucial to shift the focus from winning at all costs to fostering character, emotional resilience, and healthy self-expression. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about reclaiming joy, the importance of play, and how we, as parents, can break free from the youth sports industrial complex to allow our children to truly thrive.

Jeff and Britt launch Season 4 of the show looking back at some of the best moments in Season 3 and sharing some of the exciting plans for the next year. In addition, the guys have a rich discussion about the different phases of the youth sports journey...the Getting Started phase, the Getting Serious phase, and the All In phase. The guys share how they define each phase as well as what goals parents and kids should be pursuing in each of these phases. Too many times today, we tend to seek goals in the early phases that can't be realized until the latter part of the journey, robbing some of the fun out of the journey for both kids and parents. Taking the time to understand what the goals in each phase should be helps us gain perspective on how to be more effective sports parents. The guys also discuss the challenges in each phase - yes, each phase has them - and the wins, or positive opportunities that each phase provides for young athletes and families. As school starts back, this is a great topic to ponder and reset your priorities for sports parenting in the coming year, based on the phase your young athlete is in.

Youth sports are shaping our kids' lives in profound ways. Ed Uszynski and Brian Smith, co-authors of Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Navigating Youth Sports, join us in today's conversation to explore how parents can transform the youth sports experience into powerful discipleship moments that align with God's design for our families.

Youth sports can't happen without coaches and officials. But some are hanging up their whistles — not because of the players, but because of the parents. The sidelines have become a source of frequent criticism, confrontations and stress — driving some coaches and officials to walk away from the game entirely. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with two coaches about how they set expectations for parents, players, and fellow coaches — and what it takes to cool down when behavior off the field gets too heated. Guests:Hisham Sorour is the director of coaching and player development for Mankato United Soccer Club, which has teams for players who are 5 to 18 years old.Russ Turner is the director of The Training Institute at People Incorporated Mental Health Services. He is the head coach for boys' soccer at Cretin Durham-Hall High School, and a boys and girls coach at St. Paul Blackhawks Soccer Club.   A caller recommended the book, “My Mom Thinks She's My Volleyball Coach… But She's Not!” by Julia Cook.

Send us a textWhat if the secret to transforming youth soccer wasn't silencing parents, but engaging them properly? In this eye-opening conversation, Skye Eddy, founder of SoccerParenting.com and "The Sideline Project" challenges the conventional wisdom about "crazy soccer parents" and reveals a path forward that benefits everyone in the youth sports ecosystem.The narrative that parents are the worst part of youth sports has dominated for too long. Skye argues that while the truly problematic parents make up just 4-5% of the population, they've "ruined it for everyone" - driving away referees and coaches while silencing the level-headed majority who fear being judged if they become involved. Through her groundbreaking work, Skye is helping parents distinguish between supportive and distracting behaviors, with remarkable results: 32% report improved relationships with their children after just 15 minutes of training.We dive deep into the structural problems plaguing youth soccer today - from the "professionalization" of childhood play to the excessive travel and financial burdens placed on families. Skye explains how these pressures create the perfect storm of parental stress that manifests as sideline behavior issues. The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore coach-parent dynamics and how establishing proper boundaries and communication channels naturally improves the environment for everyone, including referees.With over 40,000 people already committed to the Sideline Project Pledge and partnerships with 175+ clubs nationwide, Skye's vision is gaining momentum. Her ultimate goal? A youth sports landscape where parent education is required, coaches are certified in parent engagement, and the focus shifts back to where it belongs: creating positive experiences for children.Whether you're a referee seeking relief from sideline pressure, a coach struggling with parent relationships, or a parent navigating the complex youth soccer landscape, this conversation offers practical insights that could transform your experience. Join us as we reimagine youth sports from the sidelines up.Support the show

We also recorded a special bonus episode just for parents. In it, Brian and Ed offer specific encouragement and practical advice to help parents lead with purpose and faith through the youth sports journey. Share it with the families in your church or community!

In this episode, we have a conversation with Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski, co-authors of Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Youth Sports. Both Brian and Ed are seasoned dads, coaches, and longtime ministry leaders who have spent decades serving in the youth sports space. A few years ago, they felt called to equip parents with the tools and perspective they need to lead their families well, especially in a culture where sports can easily take over. This conversation is full of wisdom, insight, and practical guidance. If you're a ministry leader, you'll walk away with a few ideas for how to support parents who are navigating both the pressures and opportunities that come with youth sports.

Please welcome Sasha Graham, the host of the Sports Will Save Us All podcast! What a great name for a show, and I had a great time being a guest on it—we had a wide ranging conversation and really hit it off as she hit me with some surprise questions, trying to put me on the spot…it was wonderful that I said, you know what—how about I bring you onto the B.rad podcast? We turned the tables and while I didn’t put her on the spot too badly, we did talk about some really interesting and thought provoking topics in this episode—one of them was her description of herself as overly competitive, especially in her youth, and how she had to learn the hard way to manage that natural competitive intensity. I asked her if it was inherent or environmental, which led to a really interesting discussion about that and how, as she matured as a person and an athlete over the years, she realized that the most important thing was to have fun and appreciate the journey rather than obsess about the outcome. I think you're going to love some of that commentary, which might get you thinking about your own competitive mindset and the relative importance of appreciating the process versus setting and achieving goals. Sometimes we can get out of hand with that stuff, especially these days. Our conversation then transitions into a discussion about the overly pressurized, overly competitive youth sporting experience that seems to be the norm today, and what we can do about it as well-meaning, devoted parents who want the best for our kids and want to give them all the opportunities they deserve. But we also touch on some of these disturbing phenomenons that have been really highlighted these days, like the expense, the pressure, and the selectivity of competitive sports and how so many kids end up dropping out of them, so it’s also sort of an all or nothing approach. We also get into some parenting and some kid topics, like the potential solution of bringing back the emphasis and the promotion of recreational sports. I also asked Sasha what her relationship with sports means to her today and throughout her life. We had such a fun conversation and I think, after listening to it, you will be inspired to go listen to some of her great content on the Sports will Save us All podcast. You can start with my interview, but for now, here we go with Sasha Graham. Sports Will Save Us All is an award-winning weekly podcast from Sasha Graham and is available on every major podcasting platform. TIMESTAMPS: We explore many aspects of sport itself, looking at competition intensity and youth sports. [01:03] In a children's book, Sasha writes about a girl who is not invited to a party because she is always so competitive. She learns a good lesson. [06:09] Is an overly competitive nature inherent? [09:05] Endurance athletes might be different. [14:04] How do you categorize where the healthy competitive drive can drift into something that is not wholesome or has a negative aspect on your life? [16:47] Happines can be complicated but also deliciously simple. Have fun. Just don't focus so much on the outcome. [23:54] Look around your work or at your peers. Are they having a life like you want to have or are they so absorbed in their careers that they don't have family or other sources of happiness. [28:48] The state of today's youth sports is arguably overly competitive and pressurized. [32:43] Parents, let your kids play sports to have fun. [38:40] How can we guard against those negative repercussions in high level competitive in youth sports? [42:16] Why are parents so invested in what they perceive as success for the kids? [45:44] There's a kid at community college who is happy and a kid at an Ivy League who is merable. Which kid is the most successful? [54:04] Sasha has a successful podcast.

https://teachhoops.com/ As coaches, we design practices to build skills and install systems, but often a player's progress is stalled by invisible barriers that have little to do with the drill itself. These limiting factors are the unseen forces holding an athlete back from their full potential. They can be physical, such as chronic fatigue from poor sleep, inadequate nutrition, or nagging injuries that prevent explosive movements. More frequently, however, they are mental. A lack of focus, a pervasive fear of making mistakes, or low confidence can cause a player to perform at a fraction of their true ability, turning a dynamic practice into a hesitant, low-energy session. Recognizing these limitations requires a coach to observe beyond simple execution. It's about noticing the player who avoids their weak hand, the one who looks confused but won't ask a question, or the athlete whose effort dramatically fades halfway through practice. Is the issue a lack of comprehension, a gap in fundamental skills, or an external stressor? By identifying the root cause—whether it's physical readiness, skill deficiencies, or mental blocks—a coach can shift from being a drillmaster to a true developer. Addressing these core limitations is the key to breaking through performance plateaus and fostering resilient, engaged, and constantly improving players.
