In this episode, I dive into a topic I’m deeply passionate about: the role of parents in youth sports. My perspective comes from three unique vantage points: as a former student-athlete, a parent of three daughters who played competitive sports, and a former sports agent. I share 10 essential pieces of advice that every sports parent should consider, remembering that sports serve as a crucial sandbox for life lessons like resilience, teamwork, and discipline. It's important for parents to step back and allow their children to forge their own paths while providing the support they need to grow both on and off the field. Here are the 10 insights every sports parent should keep in mind:
Celebrate effort over outcome. The first question to ask when your kid gets in the car: What do you want to eat? Being a good teammate is more important than being a good player. Parents are part of a team too. Be their parent, not their coach. Coaches pay attention to what your child does when they don’t have the ball. Encourage your kids to play multiple sports. Let them fight their own battles. Don’t live your washed-up dreams through your kids. Sports are practice for real life.Order my new book, Dynamic Drive.

In this episode, I tackle the exhausting myth of balance that so many of us chase, only to find ourselves feeling overwhelmed and guilty.

By reflecting on my own struggles and breakthroughs, I encourage you to consider how to move your potential in the right direction, embrace the inherent imbalance of pursuing your goals, and ultimately live a more fulfilling life.

We used to view failure as the opposite of success. Now, we’re often torn between two conflicting approaches: “avoid failure at all costs” or “fail fast, fail often.” Neither perspective helps us distinguish between good and bad failure, leading us to miss the chance to fail well.

In her book, Right Kind of Wrong, Amy presents a framework for understanding and navigating failure effectively. She provides actionable strategies to transform failure into a powerful catalyst for growth, teaching us how to recognize when failure is beneficial and how to minimize its unproductive aspects. Her insights will help you cultivate a growth mindset, take smart risks, and learn from your failures.

Have you ever had someone speak a truth into your life that shakes you up and wakes your soul? For me, it was my mom telling me, “You can be better. You can be great.” Her words unlocked a drive within me that I didn’t know existed.

Over the years, I’ve learned that drive isn’t innate; it’s something you can cultivate. In this episode, I share how tapping into that drive, rather than settling for mediocrity, can help you overcome obstacles and achieve your biggest goals. I’ll also challenge you to reflect on where you might be settling in your own life and provide tools to reignite your own Dynamic Drive.

I wrote my new book, Dynamic Drive, to show that you can achieve greatness AND find fulfillment. In a world obsessed with fleeting success, it’s possible to pursue your goals unapologetically—without compromising what truly matters most. In this episode, I dive into redefining the concept of "drive.” Traditionally, drive has been about a singular goal and achievement, but this linear approach often leads to burnout—and even complacency. I argue that instead of focusing solely on achieving a goal, we should adopt a concept I call "Dynamic Drive." This approach emphasizes continuous self-improvement and aligning our actions with our core values and purpose. Unlike traditional drive, which is finite and solely focused on an outcome, Dynamic Drive is about constant growth and renewal, helping us avoid the trap of complacency and ensuring that our pursuit of a better life is both sustainable and fulfilling.
