This week, Ben and Mike sit down with elite mindset coach Matt Baxter for an episode that digs deep into the emotional lives of young athletes and their parents. From confidence crashes and comparison traps, Matt talks through the common themes troubling young athletes and how parents and coaches can help them.
Matt shares the everyday mindset tools he uses to help kids bounce back from mistakes and how parents can be their child’s greatest coach. They unpack the emotional toll of parenting boys in sport, the pressure to be “tough,” and why sometimes the best support a parent can offer is to let go of the kid you think they should be.
This one’s not just about football—it’s about raising kids who believe in themselves in their toughest moments.
