    How to raise a confident athlete | E02

    Every parent wants their child to be confident. But what if some of the things we're doing to build confidence are actually making things worse? In Episode 2 of RAC Taught Me, Coach RAC shares four common mistakes sports parents make and answers real listener questions about raising confident young athletes. From the dreaded car ride home after a bad game to dealing with discouraging coaches, negative teammates, and the pressure to perform, we explore how parents can help their kids develop confidence that lasts beyond the baseball field. We also discuss supporting neurodivergent athletes, overcoming negative self-talk, and why having fun might be one of the most overlooked ways to help kids perform their best.

    What if you are chasing the wrong dream? | E01

    In the very first episode of The RAC Taught Me Podcast, Coach RAC tackles the question of "What if I am chasing the wrong dream?" with the help of three listeners who reached out via voicemail. Brandon wonders how to know if his goals align with God's will. Sophia, a high schooler preparing for college, asks how to pick a career path that honors God. And Deanna, 10 years into working with adults with disabilities, questions whether she's still on the right path. Coach RAC shares his own journey from chasing professional baseball to playing for the Savannah Bananas, and unpacks a life-changing insight from the book Found God's Will by John MacArthur: the five biblical priorities for knowing God's will, and a sixth principle that might surprise you. Along the way, he explores the Hebrew word avad — how work and worship are one and the same — and why God cares far more about who you're becoming than what you're achieving.
