Sports parenting. Not easy!

Great podcast. In todays sports world it can be very difficult to raise your athlete in this sports world. Listening to successful athletes and learning how their parents navigated through this challenging landscape is such a benefit to us. The way Mike, Marty and Maddy are able to bring the salient points out and discuss them is fantastic. They do an incredible job. Great guests also.
I look forward to listening to more.
