About this listen

In this two-part episode, Coach Aaron and Coach EJ explore the critical parent-coach-athlete dynamic in youth sports. They first analyze how parental actions and attitudes can either foster independence or create dependency, hindering an athlete's growth. The discussion then pivots to the coach's role, offering parents practical advice on vetting coaching styles and monitoring the relationship to ensure it's a positive and productive one. The core message is that a successful athletic experience relies on a triangular balance of trust, open communication, and allowing the athlete space to develop their own sense of accountability.
