ATHLETES IN SPORTS | The Parent Playbook

Welcome to Athletes IN Sports | The Parent Playbook — the podcast for parents navigating today’s competitive youth sports world.

Through conversations with former college, professional, and retired athletes, we uncover the lessons behind their journeys — how they handled pressure, developed mental toughness, balanced academics, and built character beyond the game.

This show exists to help parents guide their athletes with clarity and confidence. From managing expectations and playing time to supporting mental health and long-term development, we equip you to raise resilient athletes — and even stronger young adults.

Because sports aren’t just about winning. They’re about becoming the best version of yourself.
