Listen "42: Parents Are Crazy"
Episode Synopsis
Don't get too angry with us just yet! We are including ourselves in the craziness! Using a chapter from Coach Mike Deegan's new book, Let It Rip, Chris and Pat open up about some of the ways we sports parents tend to go a little crazy. If we are willing to consider these things, we believe that this kind of conversation has the potential to create a very positive change in youth sports.
Parents, we are such a HUGE aspect of the total experience. Let us never take this for granted. Challenge yourself to listen to this episode without becoming defensive. Ask yourself, "In what areas of this conversation do I find elements of myself? Honestly."
If you're crazy about your kids, you might want to give this a listen. 🙂
