Listen "Raising Good Humans Through Sports"
Episode Synopsis
We all want the best for our kids... but when it comes to youth sports, the pressure to perform can sneak in fast. In this episode, Emily sits down with Jill Simmons from the Springfield-Greene County Park Board to talk about how we can create a healthier, happier sports experience for our kids. From sideline stress to the emotional car ride home, they unpack why so many children are quitting sports earlier than ever, and what we as parents, coaches, and supporters can do differently. Jill shares practical, heartfelt advice on teaching sportsmanship, building resilience, and letting our kids enjoy the game without all the pressure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
