Welcome to the ultimate therapy session for dads trapped in the youth sports mess! We’re coming in scorching with Pure Athlete co-founders Britt Lee and Brad Williams, who bring their hard-earned wisdom (and admissions of doing a lot of things wrong) to the table. We tackle the agonizing questions facing parents in the thick of it. Why are we compromising our spiritual commitments—like skipping church—for the sake of tournaments?
Britt and Brad share gut-punch moments and discuss why parents are prone to living vicariously through their children to heal our wounds. We debate the rise of early specialization and the parental dilemma of hearing your kid say, "We’re not done yet!" when they want to quit. Get ready to find your unbelievably clarifying goal as we prioritize relationship and mental health over the next trophy. Tune in and try not to be the guy crying in his car.
