Customer Reviews
Great Podcast- something for everyone.
Great insights, wish I found it sooner.
Monday Morning Coaching
This is an excellent discussion. I wish I could send this out to all the parents on my sons team, but as the wife of one of the assistant coaches, it might not go over so well. 🤣
Lee gets it right!
As a former competitive college swimmer, the subject matter is spot on as to what I was taught through motivational speakers in my prime. As a Mom, you want to teach your kids the lessons that will make them their best as whatever they do and Lee does that. My son plays competitive ice hockey and thinks Lee is great! We listen to him together. Great podcasts-well done Lee!
