SLP 090: Athletes First with Clint Laukhuf Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

The younger generation needs some sort of guidance when it comes to growing up in the sport and athletic industry. This concept applies to both professional young athletes and the average kid who just plays for fun and entertainment. As parents and coaches, it's important to know how to navigate their needs, their desires, and their actions to ensure that all their belief systems match their confidence and their eagerness to win.

Join this episode of The Success Lift Podcast as Brian has a conversation with Clint Laukhuf talking about the world of coaching for kids, how to behave in order to encourage kids, and what is the ideal approach to empower children in sports. Children and especially teenagers, have a tendency to be self-absorbed and the way adults talk to them – and the language used – play a huge role. Tune in!

Key Highlights

Clint explains the idea of belief systems for young athletes and how they need to work on their confidence;

SLP 088: Married Game with Keith Yackey Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

Marriage is a game of investment. Both sides need to invest in the solution as much as their own feelings and issues.

But what if the crisis is a physical one?
