23 Mar How We Can Fix The Problems In Youth Sports
(#278) In this week's session, I'm going to discuss a topic that is near and dear to me, Youth Sports. As a parent, coach, and sports spectator - there are clearly issues that need to be discussed. This session is specifically for parents and coaches to better understand a few of the big problems associated with youth sports today. I'll discuss problems that I have observed through the years. This is certainly a massive topic and we could easily make this a series of podcast episodes, so we'll just consider this a starting point for discussion. What's the #1 problem in youth sports? I'll discuss that and so much more this week. I don't believe in discussing problems unless you have some answers, so I'll offer simple solutions for each point I cover in the show. There's a lot of content in the episode and I know you'll find this session valuable and useful, but I'd love to get your feedback on this. Let me know your thoughts or experiences by posting your comments below. This session is designed to inspire action and taking the next step, whatever that "next step" is for you.
10 Mar The 3 Best Books I Read Last Year
I've done this every year for the last 7 years (this year's post is going out a bit later than usual). I reflect on the best books I that read at the end of the year and then come up with my "best of" list. In keeping tradition, I wanted to share my list of "best books" from last year (2018). There's something different about this year's list compared to the past, so let me tell you about that first. In the past, I've always listed my top 5 books. This year I have just 3 books to share with you. Why just 3 books this year? The reason is simple.
