The Kirk Miller Podcast E171 | Raising Resilient Kids Through Sport - Mehran Rowshan's Playbook
In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk is joined by Mehran Rowshan — renowned football coach, entrepreneur, and mentor — to explore how football is so much more than a sport. For Mehran, the pitch is a training ground for life, where children learn discipline, resilience, teamwork, and self-belief that carry far beyond the game itself.
From the importance of giving children space to grow, to building a safe environment that feels like a “second home,” Mehran shares insights for parents, coaches, and leaders who want to raise confident, capable, and resilient individuals.
In this conversation, Kirk and Mehran discuss:
-
Why football (and sport in general) is a metaphor for life

The power of space, silence, and letting kids process experiences
-
How to create an environment where mistakes become stepping stones
-
Why parents need to evolve their support as children grow
-
How resilience, discipline, and teamwork prepare kids for life’s challenges
-
Lessons for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking personal growth
Mehran also shares details about his upcoming course for parents, designed to provide tools to better support children in sport — and in life.
