    122. Teaching Life Lessons Through Everyday Activities with Mike Thompson

    This week I got to sit down with Mike Thompson for a second time! Mike was the guest on episode 74 in which we talked about changing our identity. This episode we got to talking about how to teach our children frustration tolerance and confidence. We chat about tactics we've used that helped and what hasn't. We talk about how to model this for our children and what should be expected of us when they are part of a sports team. Mike is a personal trainer that would be glad to help you be the healthiest version of yourself for your family and children, and being a father himself knows what kind of obstacles you are dealing with.
