Calling all parents

Especially if you have middle grade athletes who are developing their mentality and habits in sports. I met Sean when I invited him to my school to talk to our older elementary kids as an author, and he delivered spot on to these kids. His books are great and engaging for kids and now his podcast follows it up with lessons and teaching for them to develop a positive athletic focus.
