    CTS-Episode 222-Impact Requires Unlearning

    In this episode of the Cross the Streams Podcast, we challenge the old-school mindset of "As a man, I have to..." and explore the power of shifting to "As a human" or even "As ME." Inspired by a recent quote from Coach Ivan C Thomas about "beating feelings into submission," we dive deep into how this language traps men in the restrictive "manbox" and prevents them from experiencing the full spectrum of human emotion. Join me as we unpack: The impact of words like "As a man" on identity and behavior. Why processing emotions beats suppressing them every time. A step-by-step evolution from restrictive gender norms to authentic self-expression. Real-life strategies for coaches, athletes, and everyone to break free from outdated scripts and live more fully. Whether you're a coach, an athlete, or someone striving to grow beyond societal expectations, this episode will inspire you to rethink the narratives that shape your life. Let’s learn how to embrace every part of ourselves—without apology. 👉 Don’t just listen—join the conversation!

    CTS-Episode 221 "Celebrations, Consequences, and the Bigger Picture"

    In this episode of the Cross The Streams Podcast, we tackle the controversy surrounding LSU's Kyren Lacy and his unsportsmanlike celebration that led to a 15-yard penalty. But we go beyond the penalty flags and fan outrage to dig deeper into what this incident reveals about sports culture, coaching, and how we guide young men toward healthier visions of manhood. We discuss: The importance of celebrating joyfully and respectfully on the field. Why reactive coaching misses the mark and how proactive discussions can shape better choices. The "After the Final Whistle" session, challenging athletes to think beyond the game and redefine the "script" for triumph. Addressing the racial backlash and harmful stereotypes faced by young athletes. How emotions—whether in success or failure—serve as informers, and how the PAUSE technique can help athletes handle them constructively. Join us as we advocate for a coaching framework that empowers young men to understand their actions and make thoughtful, impactful decisions. No young man is a throwaway. Let's build a culture of respect, understanding, and positive growth in sports! Tune in, share your thoughts, and let's continue the conversation. #CrossTheStreamsPodcast #TeamsOfMen #CoachingMatters #CelebrateWithRespect #RedefineManhood

    CTS 219:: "The Invisible Load: Ethics, Leadership, and Guiding Your Team Through the 2024 Election"

    In this episode of Cross The Streams, Kip Ioane delves into three critical topics that every coach, parent, and athlete should consider. First, we explore the often invisible mental load that disproportionately falls on women in relationships and caregiving. Kip shares a personal story from his own life and draws from insights by authors Kate Washington and Kate Mangino, challenging men to step up and share the cognitive labor in their partnerships. Next, we shift focus to the ethics and responsibilities within sports culture. Kip discusses the importance of not just focusing on the game but also addressing the real-world issues that impact our athletes. He introduces Game Plan For Civic Engagement: Coaching Through the Election, a resource designed to help coaches guide their teams through the complexities of voting and civic duty. Finally, Kip leaves listeners with a powerful exit ticket—a conversation starter on reframing power dynamics and misogyny. Inspired by a thought-provoking social media post, this segment encourages you to rethink how we talk about these issues and to use this new perspective to challenge the status quo. Whether you're a coach, a parent, or just someone interested in making a positive impact, this episode is packed with insights and practical takeaways to help you lead with intention and purpose.
