Coach's Cast Benjamin Johnson

- Infanzia e famiglia
Hello, my name is Coach Johnson and I’m starting a new podcast! I have called it “Coach’s Cast”. The focus of this podcast is talking about what I have learned over the years on the field, the diamond or court and how has helped me become a better parent.
Discipline, understanding, growth mind set and encouragement are what I will focus on. Team sports are a metaphor for life, I’m expanding that idea and saying: lessons learned as coaches can help at homes as well.

Episode #6: Challenging kids - "Reach for the stars"
Today we are talking about challenges we get in life. We have many challenges in life and many times we think that they are huge. We do overcome them mostly. However we know that sometimes it takes a long time. What can prepare us for these challenges in our life? What can we do to learn from them.

Episode #5: It Takes a Village - revisited "It's about the kids"
Back in the 90's Hillary R. Clinton wrote a book called "It Takes a Village" about parenting. At the time it was met with a mixed response at best. People that read it made it out to be gospel and loved HRC even more, others really didn't get it (me included at the time). I took it as parents shirking their responsibilities and delegating to others. But that wasn't the point. I don't really like HRC but I get what she meant now. Today's episode I would like to talk about how we have to rely on others all the time in sports and in parenting.
