About this listen

Originally aired in April 2023.

In this episode, host Jake Thompson sits down with Randi Corbin, a sports performance and strength & conditioning coach at Hamilton High School. Randi also coaches freshman softball and brings a wealth of experience in developing young athletes both physically and mentally.

This conversation dives deep into:

  • How parents can support their young athletes to be strong leaders and positive teammates.

  • The dangers of the “D1 or Bust” mentality and its impact on both athletes and their families.

  • Strategies for avoiding early burnout, including the value of multi-sport participation.

  • Encouraging a healthy relationship with training - seeing hard work as an opportunity, not a punishment.

  • The role of body language in sports and how athletes can support each other through tough moments.

  • Effective ways for parents to communicate positively, especially during the all-important car ride home.
