Fuel Your Athlete For Success (49 Minute watch/listen- Subjects discussed in order below)

UCLA Women's Head Coach Amanda Cromwell On What Makes A Great Soccer Player

Whether you are a coach, a CEO, or a parent, I promise you will find value in listening to our latest podcast with Golden State Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr.



The father of three kids, two of who were scholarship athletes in college, Kerr shares his sports parenting philosophy and coaching tips that apply to the boardroom as much as they do to the basketball court.  Also, find out why the Warriors tailor their schedule around tee times, what Kerr thinks truly sets Steph Curry apart from other NBA players and wishes every kid could have, and why he says too much has been made of controversial NBA dad Lavar Ball.



Alex Flanagan co-founded I love to watch you play in 2015. She was flying home from an NFL work assignment when a learning specialist, who was sitting next to her, shared 5 reasons she shouldn’t feel guilty missing her son’s game. She shared their conversation on her own website alexflanagan.com, and the response was so overwhelming it inspired her to create ILTWYP to help parents like herself navigate youth sports.
